I download the RHEL 6b2 and noticed the modprobe.conf was no longer present.

I used modprobe.conf to place "options" for ethernet drivers like which order to install the drivers. e1000e before forcedeth - things like that. Anyway - seems like that file is no longer present.

what is the "future" way to handle driver options?

Similar content is now broken up into separate .conf files in directory /etc/modprobe.d so that individual packages can now have sole ownership of a file rather than trying to pack all their parameters into a single, hard to maintain file.
