Hi guys,

I have a custom driver module that is located in a folder in my home area.

I was just wondering how I can get this to auto-load on boot?

I know that you can put module names in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 but I assume that's only for drivers built as part of the kernel which my driver isn't.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

how early does it need to load?

if you run out of ideas, set it to be modprobe'd within your 'local' init script.

Not early at all. I can get away with running it post boot.
