loading modules (or not!)

[Renato Serodio <renato.serodio@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I'm puzzled by the module system for kernel 2.6. Everything's working
fine, that's a point, but still..

I used make-kpkg to create my kernel and modules, in this case ipw2100
and ieee_sth. After installing them, I notice that they get
automatically loaded at boot. Well, modules.dep was update.

But what if one wants to control which modules are loaded at boot? I
read the man pages but didn't find anything conclusive. Only the old
modutils pages had something about it.

I'm sure there's a way to manually define the modules being loaded. I
suppose it would involve some file in modprobe sintax, but which?

Regards,

Renato
