My experience with Linux and modules has been that the existing
documents fail to provide a satisfactory explanation as to how to
successfully set up Linux with modules configured and working. The
procedure explained in this document has been successfully used several
times, both on my own system and over the Internet to give directions
to somebody trying to get some feature to work which requires a driver
supplied only in module form.
My own system runs from a RedHat 4.1 distribution of Linux, and it was
on this setup that I developed the procedure. I have since successfully
installed it on systems running from various Slackware distributions, and
on one system running from a Debian distribution, and the necessary
procedure to correctly configure modules under Linux in all three is
documented herein.
 | I have recently used the same procedure with RedHat 4.2, but with
inconsistent results on apparently identical systems. I have not yet
determined what the problem is, so can make no guarantees at this stage
as to whether or not it will work on your system.
