=== modprobe

If you are feeling fancy, you can also insert modules with:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
modprobe dep2
|
|
lsmod
|
|
# dep and dep2
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
....
