Can I recover a modprobe.conf from the running list of modules?

[Mike Burger]

The subject says it all, eh?

I'm a dope...I deleted my modprobe.conf file...and all backup copies, too

I'm trying to find a way to regenerate my modprobe.conf, from the 
currently running modules.  Is thre a way to do so?

Help.

I really need to learn not to use my computer in the morning.

I don't know how well it will work, but you may remove (or rather move
to a backup location) the file /etc/sysconfig/hwconf, then run kudzu.
This way kudzu should re-detect your hardware and create appropriate
entries in modprobe.conf.

Rename /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and then run:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/kudzu start

It will regenerate it your modprobe.conf and /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.  In my 
case, I needed to add "alias net-pf-10 off" to /etc/modprobe.conf back in to 
turn off ipv6.
