4441 <ulink url='http://linux.die.net/man/5/modprobe.d'><filename>modprobe.d</filename></ulink>
4442 syntax lines for inclusion in the
4443 <filename>/etc/modprobe.d/modname.conf</filename> file.
4444 <note>
4445 The <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename>
4446 variable behaves the same as the
4447 <link linkend='var-module_conf'><filename>module_conf</filename></link>
4448 variable with the exception of not having to use a
4449 module name override.

4454 You can use the
4455 <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename> variable
4456 anywhere it can be recognized by the kernel recipe or
4457 an out-of-tree kernel module recipe (e.g. a machine
4458 configuration file, a distribution configuration file, an
4459 append file for the recipe, or the recipe itself).

4463 Here is the general syntax:
4464 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
4465 KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF = "&lt;modprobe.d syntax&gt;"
4466 </literallayout>
4467 </para>

4469 <para>
4470 Run <filename>man modprobe.d</filename> in the shell to
4471 find out more information on the exact syntax
4472 you want to provide with <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename>.
4473 </para>
4474
4475 <para>
4476 Including <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename> causes
4477 the OpenEmbedded build system to populate the
4478 <filename>/etc/modprobe.d/modname.conf</filename>
4479 file with <filename>modprobe.d</filename> syntax lines.
4480 Here is an example that adds the options
4481 <filename>arg1</filename> and <filename>arg2</filename>
4482 to a module named <filename>mymodule</filename>:
4483 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
4484 KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF = "options mymodule arg1=val1 arg2=val2"
4485 </literallayout>
