The connection tracking feature (ie. the modules) doesn't rely exactly on an particular iptables command. It's more a way to tell the kernel to track particular kind of connections. So you can't trigger a "modprobe" for them with an iptables command. So you always have to remember to add an entry in your module.autoload file.

If I build iptables features (i.e. conn tracking, etc) as modules, they
are automagically loaded when I use the -m option to the iptables command.

This is great however, Ive noticed that a few modules do not automatically
load when needed, e.g. ip_conntrack_ftp

Am I doing something wrong? Or will I always need to remember to add an
entry to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 ?
