lirc_serial wont load on startup

So hello again everyone, I need your help
So the script from wiki that should allow me to start lirc_serial on startup does not work. After pc loads up i still must load it from terminal

Script:

#!/bin/bash
#/etc/rc.d/start_lirc
#releases ttySx and loads lirc_serial module

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

case "$1" in
 start)
   stat_busy "release ttySx"
       setserial /dev/ttySx uart none
       #load lirc module
       modprobe lirc_serial
   stat_done
   ;;
 stop)
   stat_busy "unload lirc module"
       rmmod lirc_serial
   stat_done
   ;;
 restart)
   $0 stop
   $0 start
   ;;
 *)
   echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac
exit 0
