How do I install a module during bootup of linux? I'd like to insert these into the boot sequence so that they are installed auotmatically:

code:
insmod pctel
insmod ptserial

Add them to /etc/modules

I have also found that you can do it during bootup by putting something like this in your etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh:

/sbin/modprobe <module name> &

Hope this helps. I used it to make a Cisco MiniPCI card work on a Knoppix 7/24/2003 HD Install!!

Cheers :D
