It tells the system which module is to be used for a device or you can use this for instance if you have two network cards and want to control which gets detected as the first one you use something like
alias eth0 via-rhine and
alias eth1 3c95x in a file, this tells the system the via-rhine is to be eth0 regardless of how the system finds the cards on boot.
