Everytime i use "modprobe rt18139.o" ,"modprobe > eth0" ( I have "alias eth0 rt18139" in my conf.modules file), "modprobe > rt18139", i get the error " can't find module". i thought that maybe > modprobe path was incorrect, so i would put in the full path "modprobe > /lib/modules/'uname -r'/net/rt18139.o" and i would get the error "not in > dependent file, but it is.
