That seemed to do the trick. Now when iptables gets run it'll load the
module and with the below lines in /etc/modules.conf:

above ip_tables ip_conntrack
above ip_conntrack ip_conntrack_ftp

Now, all the modules get loaded on boot or after iptables get run. I'm
happy!

Sadly enough, RH 7.3 doesn't load the modules in modules.conf if you
just list them there. Putting that line there made the machine barf on
module loading (so the ethernet module didn't get loaded, bad mojo).

Thanks for the clarification Dave, that link in the other email was of
"eye opener" quality.
