modem kernel module missing after reboot

[ckr]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem which seems similar to other's problems with graphics drivers not loading at reboot. My problem is with my linuxant modem drivers not sticking after rebooting. The modules are kept in /lib/modules/2.6..8-1.541/misc. I assume that if you could add a line somewhere to fix the nvidia problem that's been posted, the same would probably be true for my modem modules. Could someone give me some advice please?

The moduels work fine when I go through the process to set them up manually.

Thanks.

Ckr

you shall put a line in /etc/modprobe.conf it uses a syntaxis different from the manual module install, read some manual pages but primarily

man modprobe.conf

Thanks for answering so quickly.

My /etc/modprobe.conf file already has many lines referencing my modem driver (hcfpci...) Also, sound is disabled when I first boot, and to me it looks like the driver is being loaded, then unloaded at boot. Here is my /etc/modprobe.conf. Is this the way it should look?

alias eth0 3c59x
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias /dev/ttySHCF[0-9]* /dev/ttySHCF
alias /dev/modem /dev/ttySHCF
alias char-major-240 /dev/ttySHCF
alias char-major-240-* /dev/ttySHCF
options hcfpciserial serialmajor=240
alias /dev/hcfpcidiag hcfpciosspec
alias /dev/hcfpcidiag* /dev/hcfpcidiag
alias char-major-242 /dev/hcfpcidiag
alias char-major-242-* /dev/hcfpcidiag
options hcfpciosspec diagmajor=242
install /dev/ttySHCF /sbin/modprobe hcfpcihw

Thanks for your help

Would there be a line I could put in rc.local maybe to load the modules for the modem? There are I think, four modules created by the modem install that are kept in /lib/modules/(kernel)/misc. As I said, the hcfpciconfig command correctly sets up my Conexant modem so that it works fine, but Fedora forgets the changes when I reboot. These are the Linuxant drivers that I am using. Any suggestions?
