Loading driver at boot

[Gael Bringout]

Hello,

I'm looking at a way to load the driver"cdc-acm.ko" from the packages "kernel-modules" at the boot time.

If I use the insmod with a user script I get a "Operation not permitted".

Is there a solution for that?

Thank you,
Gael

Better use 'modprobe', as it will handle dependencies.

But the modules should be inserted automatically when the hardware is inserted/plugged -- did that doesn't happens? 

No... I just plugged my "Nokia Mobile Phones CA-42 Phone" usb/serial adapter, that uses the cdc_acm module, and it was not automatically loaded. It is in my opensuse box)

with a user script

Have you tried Services->User->user->Configure and specified the script path? It must be executable, runs at boot and reboot/shutdown time (with 'start' and 'stop' as arguments) and runs with root permissions.

I have difficulty to make such a script (with start and stop command). May you provide me with a dummy example please ?

You can just ignore the start/stop arguments.

#!/bin/sh
modprobe cdc-acm

chmod +x <script>
