I have successfully installed softmodem (winmodem - pctel) in my Linux M/c. But I have to start the modem driver manually everytime I boot Linux. the '.o' is already placed in /lib/modules//net/ dir. Still I had to manually start it. Am I missing something?? Help very much appreciated

hi;
If you boot with initrd you can place the driver in /etc/rc.config like this: INITRD_MODULES="driver here", then run mk_initrd. Or you can just put it in the boot script file using: modprobe driver, so it'll be loaded everytime you boot the system.
