# This file loads extra drivers into the Linux kernel.
#
# The modules will be looked for under /lib/modules/<kernel version number>
# On systems using udev, this file should remain mostly commented out.  
# Nearly all hardware device modules will be loaded automatically on such 
# systems.  This file should only be used when udev is not loading a module 
# that you require, or if you are not using udev (which is going to become 
# increasingly impossible...), or if you want to force a particular module 
# to be loaded where alternatives exist.
#
# Many Linux kernel modules will accept extra options.  The Linux kernel
# source is the best place to look for extra documentation for the various
# modules.  This can be found under /usr/src/linux/Documentation if you've
# the installed the kernel sources. 

# Determine the version of the running kernel:
RELEASE=$(uname -r)

### Update module dependencies ###
# If /usr is mounted and we have 'find', we can try to take a shortcut:
if [ -x /usr/bin/find -a -e /lib/modules/$RELEASE/modules.dep \
     -a /lib/modules/$RELEASE/modules.dep -nt /etc/modules.conf ]; then
  NEWMODS="$(/usr/bin/find /lib/modules/$RELEASE -mindepth 2 -type f -newer /lib/modules/$RELEASE/modules.dep)"
  # Only rebuild dependencies if new module(s) are found:
  if [ ! "" = "$NEWMODS" ]; then
    echo "Updating module dependencies for Linux $RELEASE:"
    /sbin/depmod -a
  else
    echo "Module dependencies up to date (no new kernel modules found)."
  fi
else # we don't have find, or there is no existing modules.dep, or it is out of date.
  echo "Updating module dependencies for Linux $RELEASE:"
  /sbin/depmod -A
