loading loopback module

I know I compiled support for a "loopback device" in the kernel, but I did it as a module and apparently that module is not loaded since I can't connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1 for that matter. Anyone know what this module is called and the command to load it, and to make sure it's loaded on boot?
