Okay, here's my situation.

My network card requires a module that will only load when using the -f option with insmod. Otherwise it complains about being compiled with another version of gcc (I have no choice, no other versions are available) Everything works fine if i do it this way, but my problem is upon bootup. I have 'alias eth1 il' set up in /etc/conf.d/modules/aliases so that eth1 will call the correct module when gentoo tries to bring up eth1. However, when it does this, it won't load the module because of the gcc error. My question is:

How can I use the force option here while booting up?
