Building and Installation errors due to modprobe -l was deprecated

Building and Installation errors due to modprobe -l was deprecated

[Aaron]

Hello,

I have problems with building and installing compat-wireless-3.3-rc1-2 
drivers due to modprobe -l option is obsolete.
Debian wheezy/sid
Linux laptop 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 4 22:48:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

# make install
/sbin/modprobe: invalid option -- 'l'
/sbin/modprobe: invalid option -- 'l'

Your old wireless subsystem modules were left intact:

/sbin/modprobe: invalid option -- 'l'
make: *** [uninstall] Error 1

Best regards,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

I have the same problem with building module for bluetooth dongle Asus BT211. 
Have you found a fix for this issue? Thank you.
