Having just installed ndiswrapper yesterday (what an amazing piece of
software!), I was mystified that ndiswrapper takes a "-m" option that
writes an appropriate line into modprobe.conf, but doesn't have an
equivalent option to write into /etc/modules.  I was thinking I'd missed
something.  otoh, maybe I have - I know there's a howto about
network-manager that I haven't got to yet...
