>Description:
If you type in "ibcs2" at the shell prompt it loads up both

ibcs2.ko and
ibcs2_coff.ko

however if you specify "ibcs2_enable="YES" then it only loads
ibcs2.ko.  To get the coff module loaded you have to specify
"ibcs2_loaders="coff".

>How-To-Repeat:
look in rc.networks.


>Fix:
Roman Shterenzon <roman@harmonic.co.il> came up with the following patch;

--- /etc/rc.i386        Mon Jan 22 18:50:33 2001
+++ rc.i386     Mon Feb  5 17:58:02 2001

        echo -n ' ibcs2'
        kldload ibcs2 > /dev/null 2>&1
+       kldload ibcs2_coff > /dev/null 2>&1
        case ${ibcs2_loaders} in
        [Nn][Oo])
                ;;

which is *very* simple and does the job fine.  I can't think of any
cases where you would want ibcs2 and NOT have the coff loader.
