+                reads files from the above directories which contain
+                kernel modules to load during boot in a static list.
+                Each configuration file is named in the style of
+                <filename>/etc/modules-load.d/&lt;program&gt;.conf</filename>. Note
+                that it is usually a better idea to rely on the
+                automatic module loading by PCI IDs, USB IDs, DMI IDs
+                or similar triggers encoded in the kernel modules
+                themselves instead of static configuration like
+                this. In fact, most modern kernel modules are prepared
+                for automatic loading already.</para>

+                <para>The configuration files should simply contain a
+                list of kernel module names to load, separated by
+                newlines. Empty lines and lines whose first
+                non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.</para>
+
+                <para>Each configuration file shall be named in the
+                style of <filename>&lt;program&gt;.conf</filename>.
+                Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> override files
+                with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>
+                and <filename>/run/</filename>. Files in
+                <filename>/run/</filename> override files with the
+                same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages
+                should install their configuration files in
+                <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>, files in
+                <filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
+                administrator, who may use this logic to override the
+                configuration files installed from vendor
+                packages.</para>
+
+                <para>If the administrator wants to disable a

+                <filename>/etc/modules-load.d/</filename> bearing the
