This is a list of modules, the modules they depend on, and the module
|
|
parameters they define. First, some things about managing all these
|
|
modules.
|
|
|
|
The hardcore way is to insmod each of them by hand. This is not very
|
|
practical, though. It is better to install them in a subdirectory that
|
|
modprobe examines. /lib/modules/current/extra/misc comes to mind.
|
|
You need to add this path to your /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules,
|
|
which file is used depends on your distribution):
|
|
(modules-2.0.0):
|
|
path[misc]=/lib/modules/current/extra/misc
|
|
(modutils-2.1.x):
|
|
path=/lib/modules/current/extra
|
|
Do always a 'killall -HUP kerneld; depmod -a' after changing either your
|
|
configuration file or changing a module in one of the module directories.
|
|
|
|
Now you can do 'modprobe lm78', and all dependent modules are loaded
|
|
automatically. You could, of course, add this statement (and related
|
|
statements for other drivers) somewhere in your rc files. But, most
|
|
distributions are set up to load automatically all files in the
|
|
'boot' directories on system start, so why not use this? The best
|
|
way to do this is to create directory /lib/modules/boot, and to
|
|
put *links* to the real modules in there. Why links? Well, by linking
|
|
to /lib/modules/current/whatever, this will function for any kernel
|
|
(provided /lib/modules/current is correctly set up to point to the
|
|
current kernel). So:
|
|
mkdir -p /lib/modules/boot
|
|
ln -s ../current/extra/misc/lm78.o /lib/modules/boot/lm78.o
|
|
# etc.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to specify default options, that you would normally
|
|
enter at the insmod command, in the configuration file. The syntax is
|
|
as follows:
|
|
options i2c-core debug=2
|
|
|
|
With the above, the managing of all those modules is suddenly no problem
|
|
at all!
|
|
|
|
|
|
i2c-core:
|
|
The core i2c module (surprise!). Almost everything else depends on this one.
|
|
Module parameters:
|
|
i2c_debug (i) Set debug level
|
|
|
|
i2c-proc: i2c-core
|
|
Creates /proc/bus/i2c* files.
|
|
|
|
smbus: i2c-core
|
|
SMBus emulation on i2c busses. Base algorithm, on which SMBus-only adapters
|
|
rely.
|
|
|
|
piix4: smbus i2c-core
|
|
PIIX4 SMBus access.
|
|
|
|
isa: i2c-core
|
|
Defines the ISA bus as being a I2C adapter. It isn't, of course; but this is
|
|
often used by sensor client modules, to keep the code small and simple.
|
|
|
|
sensors: i2c-core
|
|
General purpose routines for sensor client modules
|
|
|
|
lm78: sensors smbus i2c-core
|
|
LM78 (and LM78-J, LM79) chip driver
|
|
|
|
(To do: i2c modules)
