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

/lib/modules/<kernel version>/modules.dep is missing

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.

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.
