It seems to do nothing but to copy stuff from /etc/modules.d to /etc/modules.conf and then run depmod -a. What's the point in copying instead of using include?

They can be included. modules.conf allows you to use the "include" statement. I don't know if it acceps wildcards though. However, if it does, there is no need for update-modules any more. Just add "include /etc/modules.d/*" to /etc/modules.conf and run "depmod -a" whenever you would have run update-modules. Greetings Gert ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
