[CentOS] Re: loading modules across reboots

on 8-26-2008 12:57 PM Joseph L. Casale spake the following:

I have a CentOS 5.2 install on a machine with the Marvell nic issue outlined in http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2612. I have a few questions regarding this, what does the # echo "11ab 4364" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/sky2/new_id line do? Obviously it starts right after but what specifically is the "11ab 4364" part? Also, how do I get this to load across reboots? I have the alias and module in my modprobe.conf but that is not enough.

Thanks, jlc

I guess you could add the "echo "11ab 4364" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/sky2/new_id" line to the end of rc.local as a kludge until the driver is fixed.
