Good to know.

I temporarily worked around by using attached script.
Of course the script is not a solution.

Thanks for the fast reply and greetings

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import argparse
from subprocess import check_output, call

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='modprobe backwards compatibility 
wrapper')

parser.add_argument('-l', '--list', nargs='?', const='*')
parser.add_argument('-S', '--set-version', default=check_output(["uname", 
"-r"]))

args, ignored = parser.parse_known_args()

if args.list:
    print check_output("""cd /lib/modules/%s/; find -iname "*.ko" | cut -c3- | 
grep -E '%s';true""" \
        % (args.set_version.strip(), 
args.list.replace("*",".*").replace("?",".")),
        shell=True),
else:
    call(["/sbin/modprobe", "--set-version", args.set_version.strip()] + 
sys.argv)
