      A quick question.  How do I make it so I can pass options to a
kernel driver at boot time.  The reason for this is that the network
cards on our firewall will not come up by default with the full duplex
option set.  Therefore we have to always manually stop the network and
unload the NIC drivers and then reload them with the "options
full_duplex=1,1,1,1" option (we have 4 NICS on our firewall)".  Can this
be passed via the modules.conf file?  I am running RedHat 7.1 with the
2.4.14 kernel.  Thanks in advance.

option 3c59x full_duplex=1,1,1,1

in your /etc/modules.conf.
