Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to pass options to a network module that is
loaded for a kickstart over NFS? For instance, if it were not
kickstart I would perhaps do something like this in the "modules.conf":
alias eth0 e1000
option e1000 Speed=100 Duplex=2
Looking through the "loader" source code it looks like it passes a
static NULL for loaded network modules to "mlLoadModule()" for "args"
which is "modload()" option arguments (at least as far as I can tell).
Shoving the option(s) into our custom boot floppy "initrd.img"'s
"/etc/modules.conf" file doesn't seem to have an effect either.
Is there some way to do this? Note: I'm not stuck on the speed/duplex
issue specifically. We have other network modules, which we ultimately
load (kickstart) through as well, that need specific options set (like
wireless options). Basically, the question is, can you set options on
any of the loaded net modules that you will be kickstarting through
during the kickstart load up.
Thanks,
- Matt
