Kernel module questions:

[T. Tam]

Hi guys,

	I've rtfmed but I can't find something on inserting modules
automatically.

	On my VAIO laptop I have a NeoMagic 256AV soundchip.  This chip is
supported in the newer 2.2 and 2.3 kernels.  When I compiled it in as a
kernel option, the stupid thing doesn't work.  So I cmpiled it in as a
module, and give the commands:

insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sound.o
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/nm256.o

	To load sound support and the device driver.

	Of course, I'd like to see this automated, but I don't know
how.  I stuck the commands into my /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file but I don't
think it's executing.  Where would be a good place to stick this so that
it'll load on startup?

	(I don't want to recompile because I am afraid that recompiling
might break the experimental module that my ethernet card (Xircom
Realport) runs off on).

Flowing turning, thru the pipes, I grep for text and dump the hype,
But as I ride the fibre trail, I test my faith as as I read my mail,
Even as my bandwidth fattens, I question life and 1-click patents,
Although I ask and though I query, I know the truth, I grok the theory,
Life is a multimedia of sins, so he who collects the most m-peg wins
