modconf − a module configuration utility
modconf [−−source [floppy|mounted]] [−−target destination] [−−libdir path] [−−restrict−section section]* [−−exclude−section section]* [−−load−before module]* [−−load−only module]* [−−load−after module]*
modconf is a script for installing kernel modules on Linux. It can be used interactively (GUI mode) or from the command-line (batch mode).
The options
marked with a "*" below are applied only to one
module. If you want to apply them to more than one module
then repeat the option in the command line.
−−source floppy|mounted
Indicates where the modules are to be obtained from. floppy is used when installing Linux. mounted is used on already installed Linux systems. This is the default.
−−target directory
specifies where the etc/modules and etc/modules.conf are to be found on the system (default: / ). Do not include a trailing "/" after the directory name.
−−libdir path
Indicates where the eval and descr.gz files are to be found on the system (default: /usr/share/modconf). Do not include a trailing "/" after the directory name.
−−restrict−section section*
restricts modconf to only work with the specified section of /lib/modules
−−exclude−section section*
force modconf to not work with the specified section of /lib/modules
Available sections at the time of this writing are: block cdrom fs ipv4 ipv6 misc net scsi (there may be others if you have installed packages with special modules, like pcmcia-modules).
−−load−before module*
indicates a module that will be inserted before any others.
−−load−only module*
specifies a module to be inserted after all those indicated with the −−load−before option. Disables interactive mode.
−−load−after module*
specifies a module to be
inserted after all those indicated with the
−−load−before option.
This option is overridden by the previous one.
Examples below
are untested
modconf −−load−only plip
−−load−before ip_masq_ftp
−−load−only
appletalk
Inserts modules "ip_masq_ftp", "plip"
and "appletalk", in that order,
and
does not run the interactive program.
