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.

"Larhzu",

Could you check that svn head fixes it for you?

I want this bug closed before 1.2.0.

SVN head (revision 15515) works fine. Thank you!
