Hi,
<snip>
If it helps the module is pwcx and is the companion module for pwc (phillips webcam).
The author recommended a modprobe -f command presumably to stop situations like the above through forcing the load, however I cannot find the -f command line switch documented anywhere, nor anything that look similar.
Does anyone know what I need to do here? Hope someone can help and thanks for your time,

Unfortunately every time you have to reboot (for whatever reasons), you will need to open a konsole, su to root, and do insmod -f pwcx-i386 . You'll see some complaints from the kernel, but as long as it says it was 'force loaded' (or something like that), it'll work. Berge, Harry ten said the same thing, I just sort of 'expanded' it a little for you, heh. John - -- I needed fresh bugs for my SuSE gecko, and Linux penguin. So I went out and caught this huge ugly blue and red and green and yellow butterfly. They won't need fresh food for 3 months now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQE++IW5H5oDXyLKXKQRAhElAKCBLe5ZNdMnSG6NK0EkqITEp4gYCgCWNxQE ySr5586K2YOQotn5nPy2cw== =0yuY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
