[Leaplist] swapping hardware in an IPCop how?

[Richard F. Ostrow Jr.]

Unless you customized your kernel, more likely than not it will boot with
all the kernel modules for your new machine automatically (automatic
kernel module loading). Most recent linux kernels support this, meaning
you shouldn't need to worry about switching hardware.

Otherwise, you'll need to modify /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 (or
2.4) and add the modules you need manually. If you have any ISA cards,
you'll need to add options like IRQ settings and such to the modules.
