You only need to list the modules in /etc/conf.d/modules (for OpenRC) or /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf (for systemd) if they would not otherwise be loaded. Just about any module that provides a driver for hardware that can be autodetected (that is, PCI, USB, etc.) will be auto-loaded by udev. Modules used to provide filters, etc. for iptables are autoloaded by iptables itself as needed. Some modules do not have anything that would cause them to be autoloaded (such as the vbox-* modules from VirtualBox), in which case you *would* need to explicitly load them. - -- Jonathan Callen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTfXBLAAoJELHSF2kinlg4TQ0QAKGDJ3ZFZOeK8Y4hEE6xGMXV f2vjjAUhyrR2J67vwA5eJ377ZxF5ieMvY8N4sTk68hlLDWZrAGmfLs5u+d9gbqaO 3dF6ekvnebdH9apQ2xdCpaWD/AlfeZ8JR1Mav3kYkjaurGeMkNN3cqZAzkaip8gZ jJ1TWRy74+jJFv2F904/pjShKKEl+BEssLcSSFr91Jx70fNKiby+1oJfhZIcm4Kj 8KMLz/sh7BB6ia0KnEnNM2P11zRct+4ParXIAhCxT2P/x5DvOHGbgMie27k8VY1J 8v8LjbqCAZS43In6Vr07IfMwy0wNQAkob6GkGytyiIcijSdVDINkwSomcSS1Madb xWTWX1gEqogHtQoe3GkaW2H+nksZejtJwt5FzQsUmEDytNA5kqef7UiW1rV6rXE5 Uz94OZiopQTyrXYtnZHsCnY0JGu4DnCvm+JLSh5ee1VDRs8aPX22pWjCEtat1q9c +QKTVW62D32zC8cgLH04Hgbc6zN3/J3akTJftZRSISqMCA1xQwe0wyZet2RKVJUo anyC/lOh2mIp9zCTUvTt81oUpElTPKN4l7UjDuPoLK7n4oOK2Ao9frPeEoDxJGam 0fhlOwAg5PpV4qSyWQGneg96UlirB9O9mai/wEzzOZPxaY9gu/scqXrPUZWGwQbp BpEgVnDCGLTpZE6cqfu1 =SJpi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
