Steven made a typo, I think (transposing modules and conf): modules.conf
is correct. But I think he's saying there is no such file in BL. Other,
more full blown distros (Slack, Debian) have such a file, but BL does not.
I think I've read you can pass those additional NIC parameters to the
kernel at boot if you're using lilo - not sure about loadlin. Maybe
there's a way to specify them in a BL startup script as well?
