With Debian-based distros, the *proper* way to load a hardware module
at boot time is to add the module's name to the list in /etc/modules
and allow the /etc/init.d/module-init-tools script load it at the
appropriate moment during the boot-up sequence. The module-init-tools
script uses modprobe to load each listed module so the dependencies
would automatically be loaded (assuming depmod ran without errors to
build the dependency tree).
