Pluto controls /etc/modules.conf - how to add module options
(1/1)
archived:
Hi,
I've compiled pwc.ko module that adds support to USB cameras to Pluto (logitech pro4000, etc...). I'd like to specify default options for this module in /etc/modules.conf, but it seems like pluto is controlling that file - so I wonder how can I add some custom settings.
I guess the best way would be to deal with kernel modules and their parameters through Pluto Advanced web options...
How to do this now? Is Pluto overwritting modules.conf ? Where could I add options ?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Rob.

Pluto doesn't touch modules.conf, but neither does the kernel. That file is obsolete and (as far as I know) ignored by 2.6 kernel. To get the same effect, you have to put a file in /etc/modprobe.d/.
In your case, you can do this:
echo "options pwc <module parameters>" >/etc/modprobe.d/pwc
or you can use your favorite editor to write "options pwc <module parameters>" in /etc/modprobe.d/pwc

Hi,
thanks for info. I'll use your suggestions.
I guess I misunderstood this:
--- Code: ---dcerouter:/etc# ls -l modules*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 292 2005-03-09 02:35 modules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11622 2005-03-21 10:45 modules.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11622 2005-03-21 10:45 modules.conf.old
dcerouter:/etc#
--- End code ---
modules.conf was changed around Pluto restart, so I got into wrong conclusion - sorry...
Regards,
Rob.
