+If you are feeling fancy, you can also insert modules with:
+
+    modprobe dep2
+    lsmod

+
+This method also deals with module dependencies, which we almost don't use to make examples simpler:

+Removal also removes required modules that have zero usage count:
+
+    modprobe -r dep2
+    lsmod
+    # Nothing.
+
+but it can't know if you actually insmodded them separately or not:
+
+    modprobe dep
+    modprobe dep2
+    modprobe -r dep2
+    # Nothing.
+
+so it is a bit risky.
+
+`modprobe` searches for modules under:
+
+    ls /lib/modules/*/extra/
+
+Kernel modules built from the Linux mainline tree with `CONFIG_SOME_MOD=m`, are automatically available with `modprobe`, e.g.:
+
+    modprobe dummy-irq
