Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-03-19 01:50:59 UTC 
/etc/modules.d is long deprecated.  please provide an equivalent /etc/modprobe.d file.
Comment 1 Steve Dibb (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-15 18:02:00 UTC 
Can anyone confirm if the format of the file needs to change, or is it compatible between both?
Comment 2 Steve Dibb (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-15 18:04:43 UTC 
General consensus suggests its alright, fixed in alsa-utils-1.0.16-r2
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-05-16 15:15:36 UTC 
if you want to speak generally, the valid syntax of files in modprobe.d/ vs modules.d/ is more restrictive as keywords have been removed
