you can add or uncomment them in /etc/modules.conf or you can add them with modprobe in /etc/init.d/boot.local -or- /etc/rc.d/rc.local depending on the distro.

What module are you trying to load? If you have installed the module properly you probably don't need to add a path to it in modules.conf
What happens if you use modprobe to load the module?

Ok.... here it goes...
I have a Wireless G card that riight now they are not modules that support it, I got a ndiswrapper to use the windows drivers (ughh), to let the card work....
I downloaded the source and compiled it correctly to a module called ndiswrapper.o
modprobe is satisfactory, i made a small script to make all the process that consist in the following
insmod path/ndiswrapper.0
./loaddriver eth0 xxxx xxxx windrv.sys windrv.inf
dhcpd
where xxxx xxxx are the address of the pci card.
with this i get a fully functional card... but i need to make this every time i boot not a problem but could be at boot time...

Why not just make this a script, and then load it via rc.local or boot.local?

place the script anywhere, i would put it in /usr/local/bin more than likely, and then just execute the script in rc.local
