Where did you learn about this *genius* way to load modules on
startup? And you are writing down your password in a file for that?

If you want to load a module on startup, simply add it to
/etc/modules. If you want the module to be added with specific options
then create a file /etc/modprobe.d/modulename and add options to that
file.
