I had to reinstall, and for some reason my nic card wasn't found during the install. If I turn on hotplug it finds the nic card, but the sound doesn't work and everything crawls. If I turn off hotplug sound works great but no nic card. I know that the driver is a eepro100 is there somewhere I can put it where it will find it during boot and I can turn hotplug back off?
Thanks,

if hotplug is what is causing your problem and you know what modules you want loaded. you could either write in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file modprobe modules name. or you could uncomment your module autoload file, which should be named something like /etc/modules.autoload, or /etc/rc.d/rc.modules or something.
I did add it to rc.local but it doesn't work. When configured like that it doesn't come up at boot. I can run ifconfig eth0 up
then it comes up but since it is dhcp it doesn't come up with an ip so I then run
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
then it comes up with IP but then I have no dns then I have to edit resolv.conf
there really has to be a better way.
Can I put this driver in rc.modules will this fix this problem?
Yes you can disable hotplug and load manually from rc.modules everything you need.
Good Luck
Can you show me the format for doing this?Quote:
