I'll need to test it. Right now I use explicit modprobe commands in
rc.local, which isn't good for packages. I looked at modprobe.conf
documentation and it doesn't seem like it uses those files to determine
what to load, only what to do if it is loaded. So it may be that udev
is really the correct place to do things.

I'll investigate that. Once I know the right thing to do, the packaging
should be pretty easy.
