Loading kernel modules within kernel

[anandgbaht]

I have a requirement to load a kernel module from within a kernel module. Are there any ways to accomplish this apart from using a user application to load the module?

Please mail me if you know of any ways to do this.

I thought of modifying module.c . But this will be too crude

I think you can set up module dependencies, so if your module gets loaded automatically by the kernel (or if someone uses modprobe to load your module) the other one will get loaded too.
