14 I been using Gentoo for a long time. I have never had modules except
15 for my nvidia driver. I see no reason for having modules unless for
16 some reason some software requires something to be a module. I did see
17 that requirement once but it was a rare case and quite some time ago.

19 I'm with others, just build it in then you don't have to worry about
20 loading the module at all.
