I don't believe it did because it would have asked me to configure it, right?

# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 natsemi
alias snd-card-0 snd-ali5451
install snd-ali5451 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ali5451 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-ali5451 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ali5451
alias usb-controller ohci-hcd
install ipv6 /bin/true
alias sound_slot_1 off
And.. sound config does not seem to survive a reboot. I need to re-run system-config-soundcard
on each reboot.
