/etc/modules is a flat-list of modules you want automatically loaded
at boot time.  Create with 'modconf' or $EDITOR.

Use kernel-package to build a package from the kernel source.  This
package will properly put all modules in
/lib/modules/kernel-<version>.

If you want to load a module right now, use 'modprobe <name>'.
