Summary:                    install option in modprobe.conf doesn't work
Description: 
The install and remove options in modprobe.conf do not work at all. The
--ignore-install option is missing,too.
from the modprobe.conf manpage:
install modulename command...
                 This  is  the  most powerful primitive in modprobe.conf:
it tells modprobe to run your command
                 instead of inserting the module in the kernel as normal. 
The command can be  any  shell  com&http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=8208;
                 mand:  this  allows  you to do any kind of complex
processing you might wish.  For example, if
                 the module "fred" worked better with the module "barney" 
already  installed  (but  it  didn’t
                 depend on it, so modprobe won’t automatically load it),
you could say "install fred /sbin/mod&http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=8208;
                 probe barney; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install fred",
which would do what you wanted.  Note the
                 --ignore-install,  which  stops  the second modprobe from
re-running the same install command.
                 See also remove below.

                 You can also use install to make  up  modules  which 
don’t  otherwise  exist.   For  example:
                 "install  probe-ethernet /sbin/modprobe e100 ||
/sbin/modprobe eepro100", which will try first
                 the e100 driver, then the eepro100 driver, when you do
"modprobe probe-ethernet".
