Automatically loading kernel modules at bootup

[Daniel Rodrick]

Hi,

How do I make sure that my kernel module gets loaded automatically on
system bootup?

Thanks,

Dan

Depends. Hotplug/udev will automatically load modules for devices in
plug-and-play busses (PCI, USB, Cardbus, firewire, etc). If that
doesn't work, it gets distro specific. In Debian you would put the
module name in /etc/modules, don't know about other distributions.

You can also use initrd (or initramfs)...
