You don't need to do this, actually, you should _not_ do this.

Just put the module name in /etc/modules
example: I want my network card (3Com 3c905c - 3c59x module), vfat, and
ide-scsi (for my IDE burner) to load at
boot, so I have in my /etc/modules:

3c59x
ide-scsi
vfat

The order does not matter.
