Subject: Willian Barsse wrote "There seems to be a slight problem with the
 "mod_strcmp" function in modprobe.c, it scans for the first occurence of the
 module name in the "mod_path" variable and expects it to be the last path
 element. ie /lib/modules/2.4.22-debug/kernel/fs/vfat in my example. The
 comparison will always fail if mod_path contains another substring matching
 the module name."

Robert McQueen wrote
"Although William Barsse's patch fixed mod_strcmp for 2.4 kernels, there
was a remaining problem which prevented it from working for me. I've
just tracked it down - when you enable kernel 2.6 module support it
hard-wired the extension to .ko instead of checking at runtime like the
other places where 2.4 differs from 2.6. The attached patch fixes this
for me."
