	Hey guys. I've found a bug in modprobe where it generates bad strings and makes sytem calls with them. The following patch seems to have fixed the problem. It is rather inherited elsewhere, as there seems to be incorrect entries in the list which results in more dependencies than really exist for a given call to mod_process. But, this patch prevents the bad text from going to the screen. You will notice there are cases where lcmd goes unmodified before calling system. Please consider the following patch. Thanks. -Steve
2003-09-08	Busybox modprobe has a couple of irritating quirks:	Glenn L McGrath
	- attempting to modprobe a module that is already loaded yields "Failed to load module", whereas modutils quietly ignores such a request. - if a module genuinely can't be loaded due to missing symbols or similar problems, modprobe doesn't produce any useful diagnostics because the output from insmod has been redirected to /dev/null. Here's a patch to address these issue Patch by Philip Blundell
2003-06-20	Fall back to looking in /lib/modules/modules.dep if	Eric Andersen
	/lib/modules/<kernel version>/modules.dep is missing
2003-06-20	Patch from Andrew Dennison:	Eric Andersen
	I've had some issues with modprobe which I reported a few months ago. This is still an issue so I decided to sort it out. The attached diff includes the changes against the unstable cvs tree that work for me. Changes are: mod_process() will report success if the module at the head of the list loads successfully. It will also report success if any module unloads successfully. The net result being that modprobe will succeed in the cases outlined below. I've also added error reporting to modprobe -r. Previously it would silently fail (but report success) if the module could not be unloaded. Andrew

2002-07-02	David Frascone <dave@frascone.com> noticed two problems. First, modprobe was	Eric Andersen
	trying to call 'insmod -q', which wasn't supported. Secondly, when modprobe was fed blank lines from modules.dep, we ended up calling xstrndup(ptr, -1), which with suitably bad results. David provided a patch to catch the blank lines, and I have added insmod -q support. So modprobe should work again. -Erik
