Hi! First, if your kernel module is controlling some hardware, then you can copy your module to "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers" directory and then issue the "/sbin/depmode -a" command. Your module will be registered in your system. Then when say PCI subsystem will find new device which is not yet controlled by any driver it will load your module. The other way is to use the init script which is being executed on system boot. -- Denis > -- > Regards, > Rishi B.
