Hello,

I would like to modprobe my wireless driver kernel module at startup 
automatically.

This works when I generate a rootfs and then boot up the first time so 
the modules file gets generated and then I can manually add the kernel 
module in that file and then reboot.

When I look in the manpage of update-modules it states that a config 
file should be added in /etc/modutils but that directory is not in my 
rootfs.

So I was wondering what I have to do to get /etc/modutils directory or 
an other way to get the kernel module loaded at startup.

I am using the Poky 4.0 Laverne release.

Regards,
Gerard van den Bosch
