How do I configure modprobe to find my module?

Question

I\'m trying to get a kernel module to load at boot.

If I run insmod /path/to/module.ko, it works fine. But this has to be repeated every time I reboot.<

Answer 1

Follow following steps:

1. Copy hello.ko to /lib/modules/'uname-r'/misc/
2. Add misc/hello.ko entry in /lib/modules/'uname-r'/modules.dep
3. sudo depmod
4. sudo modprobe hello

modprobe will check modules.dep file for any dependency.
