The root of my problem is that the Debian 2.6 kernel uses
modprobe.conf
modprobe.d
modules-2.6
instead of
modules.conf
modutils
modules
Once I figured that out, everything was easy to fix.

This is not entirely true. When the eth0 interface is upped, it
attempts to load the module "eth0". Thus, if you create an alias from
eth0 to the driver for eth0, it will load automatically.
alias eth0 3c59x
Likewise for sound the proper line is...
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
I haven't yet figured out how to get the same aliasing trick to work
for the mouse, so I added the following two lines to modules-2.6
mousedev
psmouse
Does anyone know the proper aliasing lines to make the mouse work?
Cheers,
Shaun
