[SOLVED] Automatic loading of kernel module not working

I'm probably just an idiot but this is supposed to be very simple and yet doesn't seem to work. I've downloaded firmware for my wireless card from the AUR and installed it correctly. By running

 sudo modprobe bcma 

I then get wireless connectivity and everything is great. Problem is when I reboot this goes away. According to the wiki all that's needed to autoload kernel modules is adding an entry into

 /etc/modules-load.d/ 

In my case since my module was bcma, I added a file bcma.conf into this directory containing

 #load firmware for wireless card
bcma 

and yet the problem persists. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Re: [SOLVED] Automatic loading of kernel module not working

When you reboot having /etc/modules-load.d/ bcma.conf present what is the output of

lsmod | grep bcma

CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck  • AUR packagesZsh and other configs

There is no output from that which I suppose makes sense given that I have to modprobe it after every boot currently.

Re: [SOLVED] Automatic loading of kernel module not working

It turns out that there was for some reason an entry to blacklist bcma in /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf. I sure didn't put it there but oh well.
