31.6.2. Loading a Customized Module - Persistent Changes

Procedure 31.2. Loading a Kernel Module with Custom Parameters - Persistent Changes

1. Add the following line to the /etc/modprobe.d/openfwwf.conf file, which ensures that the b43 module is always loaded with QoS and hardware-accelerated cryptography disabled:

   options b43 nohwcrypt=1 qos=0

   Copy to clipboard
2. Verify whether the module is not already loaded into the kernel by running the following command:

   ~]# lsmod|grep ^b43
   ~]#

   Copy to clipboard
   Note that the output of the command in this example indicates that the module is currently not loaded into the kernel.
3. If the module is already loaded into the kernel, you must unload the module and all its dependencies before proceeding with the next step. See Section 31.4, “Unloading a Module” for instructions on how to safely unload it.
4. Load the b43 module by running the following command:

   ~]# modprobe b43
