Maybe something like /etc/autoload.modules? It is named something to
that affect on some distros. Gentoo has different ones per kernel so its
in a folder /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.X.

Try 'locate mod|grep auto' and see what pops up maybe?

Subject: [CS-FSLUG] Dell INSPIRON 2200

4 days ago I bought me a Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop and the first thing I
did 
was slap Fedora Core 4 on it.

but if anyone on the list is considering buying one, be specific about
the 
built-in wireless NIC because Dell doesn't use any that are all that 
compatible with linux.

I managed to get mine to work using ndiswrapper and the driver from dell
and 
it was sortof a pain to get working, but it was worth it.

Anyway I need to ask if anyone knows where the file is that loads
modules on 
startup. I remember in another lifetime ;) it was called
/etc/modules.conf or 
something like that, well I don't know where the file is that I need to
make 
the wireless nic load upon boot.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
David M.
