/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf



I am trying to load a driver (wctdm/zaptel) for a telephony card when  
the system starts up and BEFORE the pbx system (Asterisk) starts up.   
If I do the modprobe in /etc/rc.local, it fails to load.  If I wait  
until the system is loaded and manually modprobe the driver, it  
works.  What's the best way to configure this?

I suspect it has something to do with /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf  
which doesn't exist on my system.

Here are the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/zaptel which does exist.
