    It's a point-and-click type application for loading/unloading modules.
    In addition, it'll add (and remove?) module entries from "/etc/modules".

    If you know the name of the module you wish to install (see
    /lib/modules/[kernel-version/ directory), you can accomplish the same
    thing manually with the command "modprobe <module_name>" followed by
    adding "<module_name>" to "/etc/modules".
