Angry Fedora 20: auto load of modules


hello,
i just discovered that i have no idea how to load modules on the boot in fedora 20.
I followed - https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US...e_Loading.html
and
created a b43.conf file in /etc/modules-load.d/;

later gave me "module is blacklisted", former - no entries in the /log/messages.

i also read that old "/etc/modprobe.conf" is not workie anymore.

at the same time manual "modprobe b43" works fine.
Is there an up-to-date documentation for Fedora on how i should go around this simple task?

thank you


P.S.
arhhh, what a pain:
Code:
more /usr/lib/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl-blacklist.conf 
# modules blacklisted for broadcom-wl
blacklist ssb
blacklist bcma
blacklist b43
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist brcmfmac
question is why these are blacklisted by default?

P.P.S And the answer is - because there was another driver "wl" already installed on the system from broadcom-wl-6.30.223.248-1.fc20.noarch.


----------Summary-------

To answer my own question - load during the boot in Fedora 20 - put .conf into /etc/module-load.d and check that it's loaded by either grep messages or using journalctl tool.
