Lucas De Marchi 569f1609bd modprobe: kill operations depending on path 
It was not on module-init-tools and it doesn't make much sense. It will
deal with dependencies, but looking at modules in the index. This might
not be the module we want if we are loading another from outside of the
tree.

Dealing with paths causes this bug (supposing there's a module names
squashfs):

	# cd /
	# touch squashfs
	# modprobe squashfs

That is because it detects that squashfs exists as a file and it will
try to load it instead of the alias "squashfs".

If you need to load a module from a path, use insmod.

Thanks to Silvan Calarco <silvan.calarco@mambasoft.it> who reported the
bug and helped debugging it.

kmod - Linux kernel module handling

OVERVIEW
========

kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like
insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases.

These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with
kmod. See libkmod/README for more details on this library and how to use it.
The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indexes from
module-init-tools project.

Compilation and installation
============================

In order to compiler the source code you need following software packages:
	- GCC compiler
	- GNU C library

Optional dependencies:
	- ZLIB library
	- LZMA library

Typical configuration:
	./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2" --prefix=/usr \
			--sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib

Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages.

To compile and install run:
	make && make install

Hacking
=======

Run 'bootstrap' script before configure. If you want to accept the recommended
flags, you just need to run 'bootstrap-configure'.

Make sure to read the CODING-STYLE file.
