I am loading a wifi module which is sitting in /usr/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/extra by running modprobe <module_name.ko> but it errors out saying modprobe: FATAL: Module <module_name.ko> not found in directory /lib/modules/<kernel_version>.

That's true, but when I try to copy the module into /lib/modules/<kernel_version>, it complains how it's a Read-only file system.

I tried running mount -o remount / to no avail.

Run modprobe module_name in stead of modprobe module_name.ko.

  • in the dmesg output, I see Fail to register pcie driver. Is that causing the driver to be not loaded?

  • "could not insert <module_name>"? I find that hard to believe. Nov 23, 2020 at 23:33
  • do you see the failure message in dmesg output being the cause?
