  56                 <filename>/etc/modules-load.d/</filename> to configure
  57                 kernel modules to load during boot in a static list.
  58                 Each configuration file is named in the style of
  59                 <filename>/etc/modules-load.d/&lt;program&gt;.conf</filename>. Note
  60                 that it is usually a better idea to use the automatic
  61                 module loading by PCI ID, by DMI ID or similar
  62                 triggers configured in the kernel modules themselves
  63                 instead of relying on static configuration like
  64                 this.</para>
