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.

- 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

the output of lsmod (busybox-1.00-pre2) contains IMHO one "\n" too
much when using CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_TAINTED_MODULE:
~ # lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
ds 8364 1
m8xx_pcmcia 5388 1
pcmcia_core 40736 0 [ds m8xx_pcmcia]
and this patch from Steven fixes the problem

Hello all,
This patch adds more "Help" text to the config system. Almost
all applets now have a help entry. Also, I cleaned up the spacing of
the existing text so that things are consistent. This patch is against
this morning's CVS.

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.

modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.

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.
