You want to verify that a kernel module has been loaded and an alias is created for a newly installed network board. Which of the following files should you check?
  1. /etc/modprobe.conf
  2. /etc/sysctl.conf
  3. /etc/drivers
  4. /etc/aliases
Explanation
Answer - A - You should check the /etc/modprobe.conf to verify that a kernel module has been loaded and an alias created for a newly installed network board.

Key Takeaway: You should check the /etc/modprobe.conf or the /etc/modules.conf file to verify that the correct module has been loaded and alias created. Modprobe.d is a directory containing other directories and files. These are all read together. Modprobe.conf is usually a single file, but the syntax is the same. They can also be used to create convenient aliases which are alternate names for a module.
