See 'man modprobe.conf'. There is an example for just what you need for 1. For 2. a simple 'blacklist' should be enough, but post back if it doesn't work (some modules are a bit stubborn). Regards, Andrei P.S. My recommendation is to create a file /etc/modprobe.d/00local for all your customizations -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
