In 2.6, the file /etc/modprobe.conf is used. When you use Red Hat, you
can install their modutils package from RawHide, that creates that file
from your /etc/modules.conf file.

There is probably some util around that creates the file for you. This
issue is documented in the FAQ in the modutils source.

This means that you already got the proper modutils version installed.
