running Debian unstable, so I probably already have most of these.
actually, you'll probably have to get 'module-init-tools' for modules to load
properly under 2.5/2.6. It sits alongside the old 2.4 one, and doesn't cause any
problem with older kernels.
module-init-tools will move the respective tools from modutils out of the way
by renaming them to "*.modutils"
Modules are now configured in /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/*,
'update-modules' will build /lib/modules/modprobe.conf out of these.
When changing your 2.4.x config in /etc/modutils/* you now need to run
'update-modules.modutils' to build /etc/modules.conf.

* What is needed to use 2.5?
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes
expect to update a number of userspace tools, most notably modutils.
