loadlin is not relevant.[*]

loadlin loads your linux system. It loads a specific kernel.

The modules for the modem would typically be in kernel modules that can be
dynamically loaded at runtime (without the rebuilding the kernel).

Add the module name to /etc/modules to have it automatically loaded at
startup.

[*] Unless you need to give the kernel a specific option. This should only
be that case here if the code was compiled into the kernel itself, not as
a module, and required some extra parameters. Both not applicable here.
