Re: starting driver at boot up

["rahul kulkarni" <rahulgkulkarni@xxxxxxxxx>]

- The std procedure is to add the driver statically (as you have did). You
need to find whether you driver files are getting compiled  while compiling
kernel. If it is happening properly add provided you have added your driver
in source code of kernel in proper way it has to get complied and
initialized at the bootup
- If you have written a script to do initialization stuff you can call it
from any of the scripts in /etc/init.d (which is a very crude way). Instead
of doing that write an extra script S*<name> in /etc/init.d and call your
script from there.
   you can refer to S*network or S*httpd in /etc/init.d
