Is this the file you have it in? or is it actually /etc/modprobe.conf?

You should not need to manually load any of the modules.  The install
should have set it up for loading the modules at boot time.

It may be because you are doing things manually.  Udev is one of the
earliest services to start.  Mine does everything automagically and
everything works.  The only changes I had to make to /etc/modprobe.conf
was the configurations needed to load ndiswrapper for my wireless
adapter.
