On Mandrake, I put a line that says 'ivtv' in the /etc/modules.  This 
file is examined by the /etc/rc boot script and any modules mentioned in 
there are modprobe'd, the result of which is that /etc/modules.conf is 
examined to see what dependancies exist for the module mentioned in 
/etc/modules.
