Failure to do so (read-only /lib/modules, + etc) is not reported, and future modprobes will be slow too. + + NB: modules.dep.bb file format is not compatible + with modules.dep file as created/used by standard module tools. + + Additional module parameters can be stored in + /etc/modules/$module_name files. + + Apart from modprobe, other utilities are also provided: + - insmod is an alias to modprobe + - rmmod is an alias to modprobe -r + - depmod generates modules.dep.bb + + As of 2008-07, this code is experimental.
