To make modprobe believe that it has loaded a module you can set an alias in /etc/modutils/donotload : alias 8390 off This way, a modprobe 8390 will do nothing and return a 0 (OK) status. This is for 2.4. In 2.6, this is slightly different. You have to put in /etc/modprobe.d/donotload : install 8390 /bin/true HTH -- Kiko Please do not reply to the sender address of this email; due to spam and Windows (TM) worms, everything not comming from the list is "stored" in /dev/null.
