to see the list of supported options for a particular module.
-Normally on
a distribution using
a 2.6 series linux kernel
the options to use are specified in any file in
the <tt>/etc/modprobe.d</tt> directory.
+To specify the options for
a module on many [LinuxDistribution]s on
a 2.6 series LinuxKernel edit one of
the files in the directory <tt>/etc/modutils</tt> and use a line something like:
+<pre>
+
options ov51x led2=
+</pre>
+where the above example sets the led2 option to 0 for the ov51x module.
+
+Now run <tt>update-modules</tt> and the options get transferred
to the <tt>/etc/modprobe.d</tt> directory and to <tt>/etc/modules.conf</ff>. You will need to unload and then load the module for new parameters to take effect
.
