There's a big difference between those two ways, at least thats what I
figured out:
* /etc/modules describes which modules should be loaded at boot time,
and which parameters they should get.
* in /etc/modules.conf (on my system a link into /etc/modconf/......)
you can give parameters for modules that should be used once they are
loaded, maybe automatically.
Therefore the way Ulisses describes is *far* cleaner.
