  Would that mean that there is no other way than modprobe to manage modules 
at the moment?

You have installed module-init-tools? Description:

This package contains a set of programs for loading, inserting, and
removing kernel modules for Linux (versions 2.5.48 and above). It serves
the same function that the modutils package serves for Linux 2.4.
You'll need it.

Hugo.

  I don't know about the specific tools. However for it was enough to
copy some specific module configuration files from /etc/modutils/ to
/etc/modprobe.d and then to run update-modules.

  You might want to read 
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/HOWTO-Linux-2.6-Woody.gz. I believe both
insmod and modprobe work although it could be that their semantics have
been changed.
