Summary: Linux 2.6 module autoloading breaks when support for
2.4 modules is disabled
Description:
When Linux needs a new module, the kernel calls
/sbin/modprobe -q -- foobar
which calls:
/sbin/insmod -q /lib/modules/2.6.x.y/.../foobar.ko
When BusyBox is configured to support only 2.6 kernels, insmod doesn't
support option -q but modprobe still calls insmod with -q. Because of
this, Linux 2.6 cannot automatically load any modules unless also support
for Linux 2.4 modules is compiled into BusyBox.
