Hi Andreas,

I do not have a /etc/depmod.d folder. I imagine it is something about
my embedded distribution (voyage 0.8.0).

I asked for help there. I will post back is they have any suggestion.

I imagine there is a reason why this feature is not part of the distribution...

Still I'm happy to test.

# dpkg -l | grep module-init
ii  module-init-tools                  3.12-1
tools for managing Linux kernel modules

I created the folder and then /etc/depmod.d/00-system.conf same like yours.

then I run "depmod -a" but lsmod shows the ath5k module is not loaded.

If I overwrite the original .ko files I get this error:
ath5k: version magic '3.0.0 SMP preempt mod_unload 486 ' should be
'3.0.0-voyage SMP preempt mod_unload 486 '

if you have other ideas, I'm happy to try them!

thank you,
alfonso
