The easiest solution is to append the command in /etc/rc.local - it will load it, but it's not the right one
Hello,
I'm booting "knoppix desktop=kde" on a Dell Dimension 2350, and the ethernet module doesn't load at boot time. I can connect afterwards by loading the module manually
# modprobe b44
# dhclient eth0
Is there a way to make this b44 module load automatically at boot time? (A boot parameter, I'm hoping?)
Thanks,
Paul

There is a file /etc/modules. Maybe you can add a line with the name of your module so that it is loaded at boot time.
I can see now that b44 driver is blacklisted by default. You can edit /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf and put # in front of b44.
This should do the trick, if not use the rc.local
And I just notice now the response from klaus2008. You can add b44 in /etc/modules, but still the first thing I would try is to unblacklist it
