I've been compiling them into the kernel since something around 2.5.3x when the code was rewritten. I'd like to begin using a few modules again (especially some PCMCIA stuff). Is there any documentation explaining what will be necessary for 2.5 to use modules? Thanks for the help, Emmett Pate ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

You need rusty's module-init-tools (packaged in debian at least, probably elsewhere). Once you have that, the basics at least (ie - everything I've tried) work fine. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I believe there's newer/better versions of this fix on the list -- you might want to check the archives. --Mark On Mon, Jan 27, 2003 at 07:43:15AM -0500, Emmett Pate wrote: > What's the status of the module loading code?
