[Nelug] modprobe versus modules.conf

[Richard Mortimer]

RTFM springs to mind :-)

The top of the Debian modules.conf says

### This file is automatically generated by update-modules"
#
# Please do not edit this file directly. If you want to change or add
# anything please take a look at the files in /etc/modutils and read
# the manpage for update-modules.
