Check if the file is 0 bytes, and what its modification time is, with "ls -l
/etc/modprobe.conf", and whether it's owned by any installed package with "rpm
-qf /etc/modprobe.conf". If it's 0 bytes and not owned by anything, you can just
delete it (as root). There was a system-config-network bug that used to create a
0-byte /etc/modprobe.conf, but it's been fixed in everything back to F12 for a
while now, so the modification time is probably months old.
