Get yourself the kernel source and then read linux/Documentation/modules.txt.
That will give you a general idea.
You also need to read the man pages for modules.conf and modprobe.
I changed modules by changing the module name for scsi_hostadapter in my
modules.conf file. No need to re-compile the kernel *if* you've already got the
necessary driver compiled as a module.
Then I checked what modules where already loaded using lsmod, did rmmod on my
old scsi driver module (rmmod aic7xxx), and then did modprobe scsi_hostadapter
which causes the aic7xxx_old module to be loaded (because there's an alias line
in my modules.conf which performs the association and another line which sets
the module options.)
