Did you just add it to the INITRD line or did you add it to the
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT line like I suggested above. If you add it to
that line there is no need to do a modprobe because the module gets
loaded every time. The script you are looking for is
/etc/init.d/network, but it doesn't do a modprobe. Udev is SUPPOSED to
cause the module to load when the hardware scan happens, but in newer
kernels things have changed.
