For the drivers that are specific to a hardware controler either an entry in /etc/modules or an entry in /etc/conf.modules is required to inform the system of the correct driver to install. The advantage of /etc/conf.modules is that you can also specify parameters to pass to the drivers in question, like irq settings and such.
