However, neither the kmod modprobe nor the busybox one read /etc/modules.conf file anymore which is created by update-modules script. Both scan /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf files. So, does anybody know why do we still have it around? Most modern distributions declared update-modules as obsolete and /etc/modules.conf doesn't exist anymore. Am I missing something? Thanks, Laurentiu
