Where to put insmod command?

What you almost certainly need is mods to the conf.modules file to set the
options insmod uses when it loads any given module.

( This effectively overrides any given modules' "factory" default settings )


As in , for instance, on my wonky old RH5.2 box:


$ cat /etc/conf.modules
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias eth0 tulip
options tulip debug=1 options=0
alias net-pf-5 off


to set the SCSI adaptor, map eth0 to a tulip card, set debug level and AutoNeg
on the Tulip
card, and disable AppleTalk support ...
