Little nit-picking: the `modprobe` command is available (and used) on Arch Linux, and it *does* use the files in /etc/modprobe.d (see also modprobe.d(5) for what the files are used for). So this is not really an indication for whether OP's using Arch or not. However, yes, automatic module-loading at startup is not modprobe's job, so it's the wrong location to configure such stuff. Please have a look at modules-load.d(5) instead (and take a second, more precise look at the wiki article Mauro posted).
