03d8091859 Patch from Woody Suwalski:
Erik, I think we have met online some time ago when I was in Corel/Rebel
    Netwinder project....

Anyway, I would like to use BB on 2.6.0 initrd. 1.00-pre4 works OK, if
insmod is actually presented with a full path to the module. Otherwise -
problems (not to mention conflicts when 2.4 modutil is enabled)

Here are some patches for insmod and modprobe which try to walk around
the default ".o" module format for 2.2/2.4 modules (you have probably
noticed it is now .ko in 2.6 ;-)) Trying to steal as little space as
possible if 2.6 not enabled...

The modprobe is still not perfect on 2.6 - seems to be jamming on some
dependencies, but works with some (to be debugged). Anyway after the
patches it at least tries to work....

Will there be a 1.00-pre5 coming any time soon?

Thanks, Woody

that axis distributes.

Hey guys. I've found a bug in modprobe where it generates bad strings and
makes sytem calls with them. The following patch seems to have fixed the
problem. It is rather inherited elsewhere, as there seems to be incorrect
entries in the list which results in more dependencies than really exist for
a given call to mod_process. But, this patch prevents the bad text from
going to the screen. You will notice there are cases where lcmd goes
unmodified before calling system.

Please consider the following patch.

Thanks.

350733abb8 Busybox modprobe has a couple of irritating quirks:
- attempting to modprobe a module that is already loaded yields "Failed
to load module", whereas modutils quietly ignores such a request.

 - if a module genuinely can't be loaded due to missing symbols or
similar problems, modprobe doesn't produce any useful diagnostics
because the output from insmod has been redirected to /dev/null.

Here's a patch to address these issue

e5642119ee Patch from Thomas Cameron:
Hello all,
	    This patch adds more "Help" text to the config system.  Almost
    all applets now have a help entry.  Also, I cleaned up the spacing of
    the existing text so that things are consistent.  This patch is against
    this morning's CVS.

908e362133 Patch from Andrew Dennison:
I've had some issues with modprobe which I reported a few months ago. This
is still an issue so I decided to sort it out.

The attached diff includes the changes against the unstable cvs tree that
work for me.

Changes are:
mod_process() will report success if the module at the head of the list
loads successfully. It will also report success if any module unloads
successfully.
The net result being that modprobe will succeed in the cases outlined below.
I've also added error reporting to modprobe -r. Previously it would silently
fail (but report success) if the module could not be unloaded.

c9f20d9fb9 Yet another major rework of the BusyBox config system, using the considerably
modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc.  With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system.  I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.

d378c3149c Applied vodz' patches #49 and #50 (with a small correction in runshell.c)
#49: I found one memory overflow and memory leak in "ln" applet.
Last patch reduced also 54 bytes. ;)

#50: I found bug in loginutils/Makefile.in.
New patch have also new function to libbb and
aplied this to applets and other cosmetic changes.

b493dec91e David Frascone <dave@frascone.com> noticed two problems. First, modprobe was
trying to call 'insmod -q', which wasn't supported.  Secondly, when modprobe
was fed blank lines from modules.dep, we ended up calling xstrndup(ptr, -1),
which with suitably bad results.  David provided a patch to catch the blank
lines, and I have added insmod -q support.  So modprobe should work again.
