NAME
/etc/modules - kernel modules to load at boot time
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/modules file contains the names of kernel modules
that are to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Argu-
ments can be given in the same line as the module name.
Comments begin with a `#', and everything on the line
after them are ignored. If the special command auto
appears as a module name the kerneld daemon is started
immediately and other modules can be loaded automatically
on demand. The default is to start kerneld when switching
to initlevel 2, 3, 4 or 5. Thus modules needed at boot
time can only be demand loaded with this option. The spe-
cial command noauto disables kerneld completely.
