most linux systems just have one file, /etc/modprobe.conf that holds modprobe information.

Ubuntu/Debian have a folder called /etc/modprobe.d/ and any files in there will be read as entries for modprobe config.

So:
cd /etc/modprobe.d/
sudo gedit whatever
(or 'sudo vi whatever' if you feel like a man )
and add your stuff in there.
