Description Mike Frysinger 2016-02-13 04:31:07 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #8021 +++

busybox modprobe will walk into subdirs of /etc/modprobe.d/ such as .git/ or .svn/ and processes any '*.conf' files under there.

However, the sysnopsis the modprobe.d(5) manual page (from kmod version 18)
suggests that only the files matching the following globs should be read as
config files:

  /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf

the recursive_action() helper currently does not allow one to limit the max depth.  the depth arg is used only whether to walk symlinks to prevent infinite loops.
