Your question has nothing to do with buildroot, but rather with the Linux
kernel, modutils and start up scripts. Look for files in '/etc/init.d'
that have 'modules' in the name. Also, look at the actual modutils package:

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/modutils/
    ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.4/

which has all of the applications to load kernel modules. Or, how about
actually compiling your network driver into your kernel. If you do not
know how to do that, you should not even be on this list.
