On this system (with the latest 5.5 updates) there is an
/etc/modprobe.conf file. It must have been created by the system...
because I didn't create it. Nor have I made any changes to it... ever.
Moreover, the Access, Modify, and Change timestamps all correspond to
the last time the system was booted.
According to "man modprobe.conf":
There is a generate_modprobe.conf program which should do a reasonable
job of generating modprobe.conf from your current (2.4 or 2.2) modules
setup.
This program, however, isn't present on my system.
Manpages should have dates in the content revealing their last update.
