ok,you mean that when startup or using "modprobe" command,
they will automatically search what you point to in /lib/mo
dules/VERSION/,if it exist,that module will be loaded,right
? and conf.module (module.conf) only works to give a alias
to remmeber or load easily,isn't it?
Yes

also you can use modules.conf to set options for each module

option <module or alias> <option name> <value>

to find out what options are available for each module use

modinfo -p <module name>

ok,thanks a lot,i will accept your answer,hope to see you next time.  HAVE A NICE DAY
