Summary:                    spurious output from modprobe
Description: 
if you run `modprobe` on a system that lacks /etc/modprobe.d, you get
spurious warnings now:
root:/> modprobe fat
modprobe: /etc/modprobe.d: No such file or directory
root:/> modprobe -r fat
modprobe: /etc/modprobe.d: No such file or directory

Doesn't happen on 1.13.x (svn). ACTION_QUIET suppresses it here:

static int read_config(struct modprobe_conf *conf, const char *path)
{
        return recursive_action(path, ACTION_RECURSE | ACTION_QUIET,
                                config_file_action, NULL, conf, 1);
}

modprobe.c doesn't have include_conf_recursive after some recent patches.

The easiest solution is to create /etc/modprobe.d and just wait for next
upgrade cycle. Or create a stopgap patch for 1.12.x... hmmm... ok:

http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.12.1/busybox-1.12.1-modprobe.patch

Does it work for you?
