On Debian you put the module name in /etc/modules and one of the rc 
scripts loads it on boot.  You didn't say what distro you have but I 
don't see anything obvious in Red Hat to do the same.

It's rare that it is necessary to use /etc/modules since the kernel can 
usually figure out how to load a module when it is needed (with help 
from modules.conf).  FTP connection tracking may be different.  This 
article might help:

Try the rules in it and see if the kernel figures the modules out.

HTH,
