[ale] Module handling at boot

If you have a module that needs to get loaded at boot time but you 
forgot to include it when you ran menuconfig prior to compiling a 
kernel, how do you fix it where it'll load at boot time?  In this case, 
it's the module for the NIC (RTL8139) and I assume (I haven't tried it) 
that if I booted it up and typed "insmod <module_name>" and then "ifup 
eth1" then my NIC would pop to life.  So I'm trying to make this result 
happen at boot time instead.
