There is only /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf now, andno include at all. All packages drop files with a number in front to ensure the right order: ls -1 /etc/modprobe.d/ 00-system.conf 10-unsupported-modules.conf 50-blacklist.conf 50-pnp-aliases.conf 99-local.conf Kay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-modules" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
