16 You only need to list the modules in /etc/conf.d/modules (for OpenRC) or
17 /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf (for systemd) if they would not otherwise be
18 loaded. Just about any module that provides a driver for hardware that
19 can be autodetected (that is, PCI, USB, etc.) will be auto-loaded by
20 udev. Modules used to provide filters, etc. for iptables are autoloaded
21 by iptables itself as needed. Some modules do not have anything that
22 would cause them to be autoloaded (such as the vbox-* modules from
23 VirtualBox), in which case you *would* need to explicitly load them.
