No, that's to force the driver to use for that NIC.
("module" = "linux kernel driver", more or less ;))
PERSISTENT_NAME is a variable to put into the ifcfg file for the interface, in
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0.... (for example)
As an example, here's the content of my
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:04:23:a7:bf:f4
(that weird number is the hardware identifier of the NIC (i.e. the MAC address))

Just add PERSISTENT_NAME in there with your favourite text editor, like this:
- --->8---snip----------------------------------
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
MTU=''
NAME='Intel PRO/1000 MT Server Adapter'
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='auto'
UNIQUE='rBUF.zpcgp5it344'
USERCONTROL='no'
_nm_name='bus-pci-0000:01:08.0'
PERSISTENT_NAME="wired"

PS: omg, is this lotus notes that fscks up your mails to an almost unreadable
point ? ;)
