I don't really know how the device detection stuff works (and haven't 
found much documentation), but I don't think the /etc/modprobe entries 
are actually necessary, at least for pci devices.  You used to be able 
to sort-of control detection order there but I don't think that works 
any more and it didn't help much when you had multiple devices with the 
same driver anyway.
