Specifies
<ulink url='http://linux.die.net/man/5/modprobe.d'><filename>modprobe.d</filename></ulink>
syntax lines for inclusion in the
<filename>/etc/modprobe.d/modname.conf</filename> file.
<note>
The <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename>
variable behaves the same as the
<link linkend='var-module_conf'><filename>module_conf</filename></link>
variable with the exception of not having to use a
module name override.
</note>
</para>
<para>
You can use the
<filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename> variable
anywhere it can be recognized by the kernel recipe or
an out-of-tree kernel module recipe (e.g. a machine
configuration file, a distribution configuration file, an
append file for the recipe, or the recipe itself).
</para>
<para>
Here is the general syntax:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF = "&lt;modprobe.d syntax&gt;"
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
Run <filename>man modprobe.d</filename> in the shell to
find out more information on the exact syntax
you want to provide with <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename>.
</para>
<para>
Including <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename> causes
the OpenEmbedded build system to populate the
<filename>/etc/modprobe.d/modname.conf</filename>
file with <filename>modprobe.d</filename> syntax lines.
Here is an example that adds the options
<filename>arg1</filename> and <filename>arg2</filename>
to a module named <filename>mymodule</filename>:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF = "options mymodule arg1=val1 arg2=val2"
</literallayout>
</para>

For information on how to specify kernel modules to
auto-load on boot, see the
<filename>KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD</filename> variable.
