Re: modconf not working, net module 3c59x can't be loaded. any help?
so if insmod works fine it's ok (you can check whether the module is
loaded with 'lsmod')
if not you must specify io and irq : insmod 3c59x io=<your io> irq=<your
irq>
put the line you have typed as command (above) but without 'insmod' into
/etc/modules
and make sure you have in /etc/rcS.d file as : @S<any number (probably
20)>modutils (e.g @S20modutils)
'@' means it is a symlink (to /etc/init.d/modutils ) if you
haven't...reinstall modutils
Hello again Martin,
I have done as you suggested. Once I reboot, I can't find 3c59x neither with
"lsmod|more" or with "modconf"...
the funny thing is that the card/driver shows up at boot time and the is not
there anymore. I attach dmesg.txt in case it may help...
thanks again,
Gianguido Cianci
PS: I am aware that I might have all sorts of "useless" or "mutually
exclusive" modules loading up at boottime: the truth is I am not sure which
ones I *really* need :-)
