modprobe/insmod/depmod question

[Jake Colman <colman ppllc com>]

I need to insert a new module into my kernel.  I'm not sure exactly what I
need to do to make the module known to the system.  I know that depmod is
called in rc.sysinit and it uses modules.conf.  I imagine I need an entry in
that file but what should that entry be?

Currently, modprobe fails to locate the module.  insmod _is_ able to load the
module.  Once loaded, modprobe does not complain.  What is the correct way to
load the module when needed using modprobe.

The modules in questions are ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp.  I want to load
them as part of my firewall script startup and unload them when the firewall
is stopped.

Thanks for any help!
