I think what Adam might want to do is to run "modconf", go down to the

if you're not running Sid you may have to search a bit in modconf to
find the right stuff, but this should give you a start.)

Sounds good.  Does this modconf process just install a relevant module
and ensure it gets loaded?


It's a point-and-click type application for loading/unloading modules. In addition, it'll add (and remove?) module entries from "/etc/modules".

If you know the name of the module you wish to install (see /lib/modules/[kernel-version/ directory), you can accomplish the same thing manually with the command "modprobe <module_name>" followed by adding "<module_name>" to "/etc/modules".
