hotplug2-modwrap(7)

NAME
hotplug2-modwrap - modalias wrapper binary for modprobe

SYNOPSIS
hotplug2-modwrap [modprobe options] <modalias>

DESCRIPTION

The modutils (used on 2.4 and earlier kernels to load modules) do not use fnmatch to match alias to a module. The hotplug2-modwrap application allows us to overcome this issue.

PARAMETERS

The hotplug2-modwrap itself does not take any parameters except for modalias.

However, you can pass unlimited ammount of parameters for modprobe, which is being executed by hotplug2-modwrap. Please note that modalias must be the last parameter.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

MODPROBE_COMMAND
    Sets the application used as modprobe. If not set, /sbin/modprobe is used.
