[Solved] rc.conf seems to skip acpi-cpufreq module

Hello everyone, acpi-cpufreq seems to work as intended if i load it manually ( through modprobe acpi-cpufreq)
though I want it to load at start, so I added it to the Daemons.
The problem is nothing happens at all, the module doesn't even shows up in the loading menu,
what can possibly be causing this?

Here's a section of rc.d, if more information is needed just ask for it, thank you!

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# DAEMONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
#   - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
#   - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
#
# If something other takes care of your hardware clock (ntpd, dual-boot...)
# you should disable 'hwclock' here.
#
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng @alsa netfs crond dbus @connmand acpi-cpufreq slim)

DAEMONS are not MODULES.

DAEMONS () loads daemons, MODULES() loads modules, no mixing between them.

acpi-cpufreq goes in MODULES ()

I think it should look something like this:

MODULES=(... acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand ...)

DAEMONS=(... @cpufreq ...)

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cpufreq for more details.

I had missed that there was a daemons list and a modules list...
Thank you both, my problem is solved!
