during my quest to get IrDA working with the test11-pre5 patch, i ran
into a little problem. when i installed the new modutils (2.3.30), i had
to create a new module configuration file. depmod claimed that the old
one was deprecated. however, moving /etc/conf.modules to
/etc/modules/modules.conf broke irattach. it complained grievously of
not being able to load the irtty module. actually it was unable to load
the ldisc module aliased as irtty.

to fix it, i just copied the modules.conf file back to conf.modules and
it seemed to work. however, most of the modutils now complain about the
deprecated configuration file location. it looks something like this:

/sbin/modprobe irtty
Warning: modutils is reading from /etc/conf.modules because
         /etc/modules.conf does not exist.  The use of /etc/conf.modules
is
         deprecated, please rename /etc/conf.modules to
/etc/modules.conf
         as soon as possible.  Command
         mv /etc/conf.modules /etc/modules.conf

what needs to be fixed to eliminate this inconsistency?
