[K12OSN] Mondo fails in 4.1....won't go...ideas?

[Petre Scheie]

I only casually follow the kernel dev list; does anyone know why the 
file name changed from modules.conf to modprobe.conf?  Perhaps there are 
cases where both files need to exist for incompatible purposes?  I'd 
hope it would be something like that, because it drives me crazy when a 
filename that has been used for years changes; suddenly, years of 
documentation on the web is worthless.  Harumph!
