modconf is the Debian text-based GUI utility used to manually choose which kernel modules (ex., hardware drivers) get automatically loaded at startup. You would use modconf rather than hand-editing config files or using the modprobe command.

That said, most distro’s use some sort of automatic hardware detection. Redhat-based distros typcially use kudzu while Debian-based systems usually use discover. On these systems, you almost never have to manually load modules. These days, I think you’d only use modconf in a pinch, say, if discover wasn’t able to detect some specific out-of-the-ordinary device.

Usare i moduli strettamente necessari (e disabilitari quelli inutili) è un punto a favore riguardo la prestazione della nostra macchina.

Con questa applicazione è possibile gestire i moduli semplicemente navigando tra i vari menù.
