I see on Redhat machines there is a file
/boot/module-info-<kernelversion> with valuable information about
modules and there relation to hardware components e.g.
------------------------------------------------
3c509
eth
"3Com EtherLink III"
io "Base I/O address" "0x[0-9a-fA-F]+"
irq "IRQ level" "[0-9]+"
3c515
eth
"3Com 3c515 Corkscrew"
3c59x
eth
"3Com 3c590/3c595/3c90x/3cx980"
82596
eth
"Apricot 82596"
----------------------------------------------------------
Is there something similar available for Debian?
I am writing installation notes for newbies and want to supply
information that will help them to decide on e.g. which module to select
for a specific network card.
I see the Hardare HOWTO in some cases mentions the module to be used, but
not everywhere.
Or is there another source of information I can use for this purpose?
Regards.
