Summary:                    modprobe applet is dependent on having a shell
Description: 
The modprobe applet in busybox 1.0 won't work if you don't have a shell
installed.  It runs insmod or rmmod via system() which uses /bin/sh.

The attached patch to busybox 1.0 has the modprobe applet do its own
fork/exec thus avoiding the need for a shell.
