- 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>

- <title>Configuration Format</title>
-
- <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
- configuration file supplied by the vendor the
- recommended way is to place a symlink to
- <filename>/dev/null</filename> in
- <filename>/etc/modules-load.d/</filename> bearing the
- same file name.</para>
