Description Erik Quaeghebeur 2009-02-26 18:27:54 UTC

After sighting an error in my bootup screen urging met to

# update-modules --force
 * Updating modules.conf ...                                            [ ok ]
 * Updating modules.dep ...                                             [ ok ]
 * Please file a bug about /etc/modules.d/rt2500: it needs an /etc/modprobe.d/rt2500
 * Please file a bug about /etc/modules.d/usb: it needs an /etc/modprobe.d/usb
 * Updating modprobe.conf by hand ...  

I was a nice guy and did what was asked (filing a bug; and a separate one for the other line).

Yes you are but please also provide information to which package /etc/modules.d/rt2500 belongs. Something like
  qfile -C /etc/modules.d/rt2500
from app-portage/portage-utils package should help you to determine the package in question.
Please do the same in the other bug you reported.

net-wireless/rt2500 (/etc/modules.d/rt2500)

This was interesting, because I've been using the in-kernel driver since it became available:

# modprobe -l| grep rt2500
/lib/modules/2.6.27-gentoo-r8/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2500pci.ko

doing

# emerge -C rt2500

resulted in (among many other output)

 * Removing net-wireless/rt2500-1.1.0_pre2007071515 from moduledb.

and thus

# update-modules --force
 * Updating modules.conf ...                                         [ ok ]
 * Updating modules.dep                                              [ ok ]
 * Please file a bug about /etc/modules.d/usb: it needs an /etc/modprobe.d/usb
 * Updating modprobe.conf by hand ...        

So this means that the rt2500 thing will only be relevant to people who for some reason don't use the in-kernel driver (because they use an old kernel or so)

I will.
