Hey Reg,

If you need to force a module dependency that isn't handled automatically
then you can make a custom install command for your module.

>From "man modprobe.conf" :

install fred /sbin/modprobe barney; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install fred

To cause the barney module to be loaded before the fred module.

Cheers,
Sean
