Re: [Linux Wireless] Update of "en/users/Download" by ReinetteChatre

[Roman Macko <rmacko72@gmail.com>]

Luis,

I used stable version 2.6.30.
Anyway I downloaded bleeding edge version and ran script check_depmod.
But it created new configuration in /etc/depmod.d directory instead of 
creating
global configuration /etc/depmod.conf what I did. It doesn't work in 
that way.

I can read in manual pages of depmod.conf that depmod.d directory serves 
for configuration on per-module basis,
so I think you can change the order of proceding directories for 
particular module only there.
But I don't know how to name that file or if my thought is right at all.
