I have to load the via-rhine module at each boot. I would like to know if Fedora has a special way to do it (a way that obsoletes modules.conf).
It is still the same: the alias entry for each ethernet device in the modprob.conf will cause the module load once the network is started and thus the ethernet device set up.
$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 via-rhine
You could re-build your kernel to include the via-rhine module as a part of the kernel, but you'd still have to initialize it right. In the case of your ethernet driver, its probably straightforward enough to just work for you. In the case of some of the more "complicated" modprobe.conf entries (like sound cards), it might take some more work (which is probably better left to the modprobe.conf mechanism).
