I haven't seen that bug report. How do I add the modules in /etc/ 
modules? Do I just follow some of the other entries or is there  
anything special I need to do for adding these modules? Also, is  
there anything I should be prepared for if these modules don't load?  
I am a newbie, so I would prefer to avoid surprises like my kernel  
disappearing or something 8-)
