Thx for the post You are correct in that I am running fc2 sorry for not adding that before. The mod-probe.conf file does run on-boot, it is were I specify my nic and raid controller drivers. What I was hoping to learn was coulkd I just list the 8021q.ko or does it need an alias like the nics?

How you specify which modules to load on boot will vary between distributions. From the kernel name I guess you're using Fedora Core 2 and I don't know much about that. Reading the modules.conf manpage you can set up a special directory that should contain all modules you want loaded on boot and add: path[boot]=/path/to/directory to your modules.conf file, but I don't know how it would get picked up if modprobe is never called during boot.. //Peter _______________________________________________ Vlan mailing list Vlan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.candelatech.com/mailman/listinfo/vlan
