I have a CentOS 5.2 install on a machine with the Marvell nic issue outlined in http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2612. I have a few questions regarding this, what does the # echo "11ab 4364" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/sky2/new_id line do? Obviously it starts right after but what specifically is the "11ab 4364" part? Also, how do I get this to load across reboots? I have the alias and module in my modprobe.conf but that is not enough. Thanks, jlc

add an entry of that module in /etc/rc.sysinit insmod /lib/modules/2.6.x.x/drivers/kernel/net/modulename.o and it automatically loads the module during the reboot On Tue, 2008-08-26 at 13:57 -0600, Joseph L.

You can do this in /etc/modprobe.conf (or /etc/modprobe.d) OR you can create an /etc/rc.modules (for legacy support) OR you can add your bits to /etc/sysconfig/modules/foo.modules. Adding things to /etc/rc.sysinit is very much incorrect, as well as reckless, dangerous, and other such negative words. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
