Greetings; I just made the usb driver for the prolific pl2303 serial-usb interface a module, and I added the line: alias char-major-188 pl2303 and rebooted. But I still had to modprobe it in by hand after the reboot. Whats the usual syntax for that in modprobe.conf? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
