If you wanted to create modprobe.conf it should be a file /etc/modprobe.conf, but if you create it then the stuff in /etc/modprobe.d will stop being processed. So unless you want to manage everyting yourself it is best just to create a file in /etc/modprobe.d of whatever name fits the prurpose you are creating it for. If it is specifically to keep the parport module from loading then call it parport. Normally the only modules I have to remove are ivtv or orinoco_pci. To do this I open a terminal window and type one of the following: modprobe -r ivtv modprobe -r orinoco_pci : All modules that were loaded as dependencies should also be removed when this is done. For example ivtv is dependant on tuner so if I remove ivtv tuner is also removed, but if for some reason I loaded tuner seperately before loading ivtv then removing ivtv would not cause tuner to be removed.
