I had a quick look through man modconf, modprobe.conf, update-modules etc. but it doesn't seem to be clear how I can ensure these modules don't get loaded on bootup. I only have three entries in /etc/modules for my network card, sound card, and apm. This may all be wrong though as I'm only used to modules under Woody, which was all controlled by /etc/modules if I remember correctly.
