I really dont know how, 1) i dont use 2.2.1 which i belive needs "kmod" a
replacement for Kerneld, and 2) i dont use those modules.
However if it works then its possably a question of setting the loading
order in /etc/conf.modules, reading /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kmod.txt
should help you out a little as howto use "loading options" with kmod.
