At boot time, a script (usually invoked from inittab via "rc boot", varies with distro) does something like "-sbin-modules-update" . That'setc-modules.conf" .
They detect hardware on initial boot and write a modules.conf file to a RAMdisk or a removable media device like a USB key. This is not useful on a system with a real installation of Linux, since hardware detection on boot takes too long.
?? What do you mean? Laptops with internal NICs usually have those NICs attached such that it's a PITA to remove them. Why bother, anyway? One 100bT NIC is much like another these days.
If you're using PCMCIA NICs, module loading for those PCMCIA NICs should be done automatically via the cardmgr daemon, which is not controlled by modules.conf but by a series of files inetc-pcmcia. "man cardctl" for how you're supposed to interact with the PCMCIA utilities. HTH,
