Are you sure? I think, though I could be wrong, that the 2.6
update-modules uses /etc/modprobe.d/*, not /etc/modutiles. I thought
/etc/modutils is only for 2.4 (and earlier) kernels. A fairly quick
look through the /sbin/update-modules script doesn't indicate any
usage of /etc/modutils/*.
(however, that script does run the kernel 2.4/modutils update-modules
script if it is present so that one command keeps both module config
files up-to-date)
At any rate, for kernel 2.6 the only file you (generally) need to edit
is /etc/modprobe.conf.
