\section{Module Configuration}
\begin{frame}
   {/etc/modprobe.d/}

   \begin{itemize}

      \item All files in the \filelink{/etc/modprobe.d}
      subdirectory tree which end with the \texttt{.conf} extension
      are scanned when modules are loaded and unloaded using
      \textbf{modprobe}
      \item Define aliases for module names
      \item Can \textbf{blacklist} particular modules
      \item Define parameters to be passed to module
      at load time
      \item Specify commands to be run when modules
      are loaded or unloaded

   \end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\cprotect\note{

   Files in the \filelink{/etc/modprobe.d} directory control
   some parameters that come into play when loading with
   \textbf{modprobe}.  These parameters include module name
   \textbf{aliases} and automatically supplied options.  One
   can also \textbf{blacklist} specific modules to avoid them
   being loaded.

   Settings apply to modules as they are loaded or unloaded,
   and configurations can be changed as needs change.

   The format of files in \filelink{/etc/modprobe.d} is simple:
   one command per line, with blank lines and lines starting
   with \texttt{\#}  ignored (useful for adding comments). A
   backslash at the end of a line causes it to continue on the
   next line, which makes the file a bit neater.
