       -l --list
              List all modules matching the given wildcard

Plenty of matches:
modprobe -l \*cpu*|sed [EMAIL PROTECTED]/@@
cpufreq_userspace.ko
cpufreq_stats.ko
cpufreq_powersave.ko
cpufreq_ondemand.ko
cpufreq_conservative.ko
cpu5wdt.ko
acpi-cpufreq.ko
cpufreq-nforce2.ko
cpuid.ko

       -a --all
              Insert  all modules matching the given wildcard.

Then all of the sudden, the same wildcard doesn't match anything anymore!:
# modprobe -a \*cpu*
WARNING: Module *cpu* not found.

    This option is provided for backwards compatibility: see
    find(1) and basename(1) for a more flexible alternative.

Well, compatibility or not, something is wrong.

P.S.,
# modprobe -l \*cpu*|sed [EMAIL PROTECTED]/@@\;s/.ko$//|xargs modprobe
doesn't do anything nor emit a error message.
One needs xargs -n 1 to get it working!
