[plug] ipchains vs iptables

[David Broadway]

I've got RH7.2
I've got a file called:  /etc/modules.conf

Which only contains:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 3c509

I've manually be loading by: insmod /lib .... /ipchains.o
I'm not sure, if u can just add that command line in to my /etc/modules.conf
??
