Or adding the symlink that's supposed to be in /etc/rc?.d/; e.g.:

   sudo ln --symbolic ../init.d/vboxdrv S99vboxdrv

Except..., what? "setup"?

What's it actually doing, anyway? Just modprobe'ing a driver into the kernel?
Would it suffice to just add the name of the driver-module to /etc/modules?
