I don't really know how the device detection stuff works (and haven't
found much documentation), but I don't think the /etc/modprobe entries
are actually necessary, at least for pci devices. You used to be able
to sort-of control detection order there but I don't think that works
any more and it didn't help much when you had multiple devices with the
same driver anyway.
