When using modinfo $MODULENAME, I see the parameters:

parm: index:Index value
parm: id:ID string

But what are the ID and index strings compared to
cat /proc/pci, and how can I use them in conjunction with
modprobe?

I have googled yesterday, but I didn't find matching pages.
Most people load modules without parameters.

Interesting idea, thanks.
