How to load modules

[giiba]

What is the best way to load modules during boot? Currently I am using the /etc/rc.local file to do the following:

rmmod ipw2200
modprobe ipw2100
modprobe battery
modprobe ac
modprobe processor
modprobe fan
modprobe thermal
hdparm.......


is there a better way to load these modules?
