I believe the file is /etc/modules.conf. However you could look at your
kernel conf file with xconfig in usr/src/ linux version and see if the kernel
supports it. I currently have all of the support for my hardware in the
kernel as I tried to load modules into the modules.conf file but it would not
load them or could not find them. I think had to do with the conf of the
kernel I completed. Your modules.conf should look like this (note this is
only an example and not a true setup file)
modules.conf
alias parport
alias soundcore
alias usb
alias ppa
alias joydev
alias ns558
alias sidewinder
Note some devices have to be loaded first (i.e. parport before ppa). RedHat
provides good documentation on their cd. You should add alias prior to the
module name in a separate line for each device.
