Linux: Busybox : modprobe not working.



Tool/software: Linux

Hello, 

I need help regarding loading kernel module using modprobe in busybox generated filesystem . 

i generated a busybox fs for beaglebone hardware and installed all the drivers in the /lib/modules/<kernel_version>  , and this folder also has modules.dep 

when i run modprobe, i ab getting the error " module not found "

for example, if i run modprobe mii.ko ,  it says , mii.ko not found.  but if i do insmod it works. 

i really dont understand why, i am expecting modprobe to read modules.dep and load the module accordingly with dependencies. 

Can anybody tell me what exactly i m doing wrong . 

Thanks in advance.
