I guess I should have mentionned that explicitly... yes, I have, though 
without parameters. It doesn't seem to need any parameters though. Once 
the system has finished booting just running 'insmod es1371' is 
sufficient. Yet having a listing in /etc/modules isn't, with or without 
them. I'm at a loss to explain why this might be.
