lsmod produces no output ?

I think most module load is triggered through (udev/hal) rules these 
days; my modprobe.conf only has:
alias eth0 forcedeth #nforce
alias scsi_hostadapter pata_amd #pci-sata card
install ipv6 /bin/true #kill ipv6
options snd cards_limit=8 # ?

, but I get a lot of modules loaded by the time I have a running desktop 
$ lsmod|wc
      56     200    2536

The man says modprobe is the way nowadays, along with rmmod.
