complex module loading under 2.6.x

[Ari Moisio]

Hi!

  You probably need  abobe or below definitions on modules.conf file 
dependding on load order.. Above defined modules to be loaded after 
specific module, below defines modules to be loaded  before given modules. 
Above and below refers here order of lsmod listing.
