 Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2006 7:22 pm Post subject: Avoiding a module in modprobe |
 |
|
I have a Centrino wireless card that uses the ipw3945 module. The module requires another module and has special instructions in /etc/modules.d.
When I boot up, however, the module gets loaded with hotplugging and gets an error because a required function is not available:
| Code: | | ipw3945: no version for "ieee80211_wx_get_encodeext" found: kernel tainted. |
After booting, I run:
| Code: | rmmod ipw3945
modprobe ipw3945 |
and networking is established, but I'd rather avoid the whole thing by having it work right.
Is there anyway to skip hotplugging so modprobe can do its job?

if you add the module name to /etc/hotplug/blacklist it will be ignored by hotplug, and you can then add it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 to have it loaded automatically.
I presume the problem you have has to do with the order in which hotplug loads the modules, so there may also be a more graceful solution.
