That makes no sense.  It may have been delivered in a .deb, but that's not
how you install drivers.

Not if, as Nils suggested, you put the "modprobe" statement in /etc/rc.local

Do you actually know what the sudoers file does?  That's _precisely_ why you
would put a command in /etc/sudoers - but for system startup commands,
rc.local would be better.

An even better alternative would be a udev rule, but rc.local would be
simplest.
