When I run generate-modprobe.conf, I get the following two lines (among others) in my modprobe.conf: alias ne off install eth0 /bin/true If I change the one line to: alias eth0 ne and add this line: options ne io=0x330 and remove the "install eth0 /bin/true" line, I can "modprobe ne" and it will load fine. My /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file contains (among other lines) the following: ne options ne io=0x300 This is all gentoo 2005.0. I'm brand new to this, so could someone explain to me what is causing the original two lines in the modprobe.conf file, and what file I can edit (and how) to make the modules system do what I want?
