Re: module dependency files

[Colin.Helliwell@Zarlink.Com]

You'd need to do a MIPS cross-compile of modutils, I guess. As an
alternative there is a perl script (depmod.pl) out there that can handle
'foreign' binaries. I haven't had cause to use it on MIPS yet, but have
used it ok PPC. I think it comes with the busybox package.

depmod works on it's own architecture and I don't recall a way that
would make it work on cross-compiled modules. Maybe you should just copy
over the modules (INSTALL_MOD_PATH is a good start here) and execute
depmod on the target system...

Apart from that, insmod (instead of modprobe) should always work,
though...
