Its a question of where that directory is. Of course with hotplug and udev this should be redundant at some point, but there are still modules that seem to need to be "hand" loaded by something in /etc/modules.conf. > Btw I expect $distro_worth_mentioning to automaticall detect on boot > when one of these modem cards has been inserted, to prompt to install > the kernel modules if necessary, and to prompt to configure the Linux > modem interface.
