            Bug ID: 8686
           Summary: modprobe: descends into dirs under /etc/modprobe.d/
           Product: Busybox
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: Standard Compliance
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net

        Depends on: 8021
  Target Milestone: ---

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #8021 +++

busybox modprobe will walk into subdirs of /etc/modprobe.d/ such as .git/ or
.svn/ and processes any '*.conf' files under there.

However, the sysnopsis the modprobe.d(5) manual page (from kmod version 18)
suggests that only the files matching the following globs should be read as
config files:

  /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf

the recursive_action() helper currently does not allow one to limit the max
depth.  the depth arg is used only whether to walk symlinks to prevent infinite
loops.
