# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with # a #, and everything on the line after them are ignored. # # Many modules are needed to be loaded for Debian standard 2.4/2.6 kernel # imagess. # # The use of auto hardware detection package such as discover eliminates # needs for manually loading through this /etc/modules. # # Also hotplug package loads modules at boot time. # # Some modules which are supposed to be loaded automatically may have # timing issues and required to be pre-loaded here (network related ones). # # Since Linux kernel is moving target, these requirement may be eliminated # with newer kernels and utilities.
