The /etc/modules.conf file
Contains 'default' parameters for Modules we use often (e.g. network Drivers, sound cards, etc.)
commonly used lines:
alias
- specifies that a given Module (Driver) should be used for a given Hardware Device. example:
alias eth0 8139too
options
- specifies options to supply to a given Module, when it is loaded. example:
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=0 mpu_io=0x310
Note
: module options may also be supplied as parameters to the
insmod
and
modprobe
commands.
