        I have no "/etc/modprobe.d/local.conf." There is a
        blacklist.conf, dist-alsa.conf, dist-oss.conf, dist.conf, and
        openfwwf.conf.

        Do I need one? What to do ...

            To add to the confusion my internet connection went out requiring the receiver/modem to be reset downstairs. Hope it's Wildblue and not my equipment! Has happened several times in the last few days.
