Josh,

core-image-minimal uses busybox for tools like insmod and modprobe. The 
default configuration for busybox does not have depmod enabled. As of 
module-init-tools, they are being built, but not installed on the filesystem. 
So, you can either modify busybox config to enable depmod, or add 
module-init-tools-depmod package to your filesystem. The new way is to use 
kmod, which is available in oe-core master, or meta-oe in denzil. But oe-core 
master setup is broken for me at the moment, so I can't verify that kmod is 
included. At least it's not listed in the image/task...
