Barry has included a configuation file to deal with this issue; /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG
When you open this file with Geany you will see this line at the end
Code: Select all
PREFLIST=' rt2500usb:rt73usb '
You can replace these module definitions with your own, or just add additional definitions. Let's say you need the new "b43" module to load for your Broadcom wifi device instead of the old "bcm43xx". The last line should be -
Code: Select all
PREFLIST=' rt2500usb:rt73usb bcm43xx:b43 '
Broadcom owers: be aware that the correct module for your device might alternatively be the new "b43legacy".
Here's another example, where the older "ath_pci" module is found to be better than the new "ath5k" module for Atheros wifi devices, thus -
Code: Select all
PREFLIST=' rt2500usb:rt73usb ath5k:ath_pci '
