Isn't that one superseded by /etc/conf.modules?

Or where does it get into the picture? I'm not on my Linux-box now so
I can't look around (supposed to work...).

My /etc/modules only contains "ne" and my /etc/modutils/ethernet
contains "ne iq=??? irq=???" (??=don't remember) etc. and it works. Is
/etc/modules some list of available modules or how does it "interact"
with /etc/conf.modules?
