Whether modprobe runs on boot or not depends on kernel configuration and possibly other things. Since RH likes modules, you could add a boot path to modules.conf (not modprobe.conf) as described in my last mail or I guess add 8021q as a dependency or post-install of your NIC module: #either a dependency.. (replace e1000 with your NIC driver) add below e1000 8021q #..or a post-install (replace e1000 with your NIC driver) post-install e1000 modprobe 8021q This clearly isn't the preferred way of loading modules automatically on boot in RH but should work just fine as long as you keep your NIC driver modular. //Peter
