As long as your modules aren't already loaded.

There's a confusing part of modconf (or maybe its just
me thats the confused part). Confusing message begins.

modconf will indicate if a module is currently installed
in the kernel or not, + for installed, - for not installed.

It doesn't indicated if modconf is managing the installation
of a module. You can't distinguish between modules installed 
by other means (eg kmod, $ insmod), and modules that modconf 
have installed, and will install again next boot.

You can't get modconf (though the GUI) to start managing 
the loading of a module that is currently installed by
other means, without un-installing the module. (which is 
sometimes impossible). 

As I hinted, you can work around the GUI by editing
/etc/modules by hand, but, ideally you wouldn't have
to, modconf could handle it.
