It's just a text file. Have at it a la sudo $TEXTEDITOR /etc/modules
Mine has:
,--
| # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
| #
| # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
| # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
|
| loop
| lp
| rtc
| fuse
| # Chip drivers for lm-sensors
| it87
| k8temp
'--
Then you'll have to run "sensors -s" as root to load the modules (if you
haven't restarted) before they'll do anything.
