Automagically loading a kernel module

I am new to Debian so forgive me if this is a silly question.

I am using the newest version of ov511 usb web cam driver on my Ubuntu
system. In order for my cam to function properly 2 kernel modules must be
loaded:

ov511
ovcamchip

When the cam is plugged, ov511 is loaded but I have to manually insert
ovcamchip using modprobe.

I tried (in /etc/modules.conf):

post-install ov511 insmod ovcamchip

and

below ov511 ovcamchip

but not worked :(

Is there a way to do this automagically?

Ecmel
