Brian,

I believe what you're looking for is modprobe. modprobe and depmod go hand
in hand - modprobe will load a module and all the modules it depends on.
You shouldn't need to hack any of the init.d scripts.

Red Hat picked up my ne2k card, and it stuck a line into /etc/conf.modules
that says "alias eth0 ne2k-pci" so I'm guessing that's one of the steps if
not all. Try adding that for a start. There's more info in `man modprobe`
but I'm sure other people can fill in the gaps I've missed.

HTH,

Bernard.
