the installer writes some default entries if you do a base install. (alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc, for example). Thank you for the suggestion. It is being forwarded to a developer for further review. The ppp-compress aliases seem to be necessary for avoiding can't locate module ppp-compress-2[146] syslog errors. assigned to notting If a ppp peer has compression capabilities, pppd will negotiate with the peer for compression if the kernel can provide compression in the ppp driver. Adding the following to /etc/modules.conf will result in better ppp performace (if supported on the peer side). alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate Thanks, Chris Ruffin we're looking at adding more default entries in the future. |
I really believe you guys should provide some default /etc/conf.modules. This is especially true for 2.2 kernels and modules like af_packet, which definitely don't load by themselves. Here is part of my file (which could definitely be improved on): # Note that modprobe has some default aliases built in ("modprobe -c"). # The built-in aliases will be overridden by any definitions in this file. alias block-major-11 sr_mod alias char-major-9 st alias ppp0 ppp_deflate alias ppp1 ppp_deflate alias ppp2 ppp_deflate alias ppp3 ppp_deflate #alias ppp-compress-1 off # Predictor-1, not yet supported alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate #alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate alias tunl0 new_tunnel alias tunl1 new_tunnel alias tunl2 new_tunnel alias tunl3 new_tunnel alias dummy0 dummy alias dummy1 dummy alias dummy2 dummy alias dummy3 dummy alias char-major-6 lp alias binfmt-332 iBCS alias block-major-7 loop alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias net-pf-17 af_packet alias net-pf-3 off # no ax25 module available (yet) alias net-pf-4 ipx alias net-pf-5 appletalk
