I have succeded (full story here) on installing some ethernet card that, according to the docs, must be manually started:# modprobe e1000bpI would like this driver startup to be performed on boot time.  What is the proper method to achieve this?  I thought about adding the command to /etc/rc.local, but for PPTP or OpenVPN connections there are another methods that are supposed to be more clean, so I was wondering if the same could be told for the drivers startup.
What is the proper way to start a driver on boot?
