There's a big difference between those two ways, at least thats what I figured out: * /etc/modules describes which modules should be loaded at boot time, and which parameters they should get. * in /etc/modules.conf (on my system a link into /etc/modconf/......) you can give parameters for modules that should be used once they are loaded, maybe automatically. Therefore the way Ulisses describes is *far* cleaner.
