[nmglug] Wireless on Dell 600m With Fedora Core 3

[Karl Hegbloom]

You can place the attached script into /etc/init.d and then create the
usual symlinks to it inside of /etc/rcS.d, you can have an /etc/modules
file.  /etc/modules is, in Debian, handled by the 'module-init-tools':

karlheg at journeyhawk:/etc/rcS.d
% grep /etc/modules *
S20module-init-tools:if [ -e /etc/modules-$KVER ]; then
S20module-init-tools:  MODULES_FILE=/etc/modules-$KVER
S20module-init-tools:elif [ -e /etc/modules-$KMAJ ]; then
S20module-init-tools:  MODULES_FILE=/etc/modules-$KMAJ
S20module-init-tools:  MODULES_FILE=/etc/modules
S20module-init-tools:# Loop over every line in /etc/modules.

I wonder if there's a similar script in Fedora?  The debian 'hotplug'
package has some support for preloading some USB modules.  It could
probably be abused to load other drivers too, but /etc/modules is
certainly a lot more convenient.
