This file contains only a handful of entries - far less than the number of
modules that are actually loaded.  Are there other locations that also
specify modules that should be loaded?

modprobe for module at boot time?

[Ishwar Rattan]

I am running a Debian derivative system. I would like
the system to insert a module at boot time. So, how
do I indicate it (which file /etc should contain the
directive)?

The really easy way!

install modconf (aptitude install modconf AS root)

run modconf

locate and select the module you want to load

if it's already loaded it will ask you if you want to unload... say yes then 
procede to next step

if not already loaded it will ask if you want to load it... say yes

it will ask you for command line arguments... enter any necessary

select ok and it will load it immediately and on subsequent reboots


Good Luck,

Joe
