I beg to differ. I think it is always best to use rc.local only as a last resort. It is more elegant to have the system do the loading automatically, than to force the load by commanding explicitly in rc.local. I have a bttv and it loads perfectly. As soon as I get home, I will post the relevant sections of my modprobe.conf.
