Busybox modprobe has a couple of irritating quirks:

 - attempting to modprobe a module that is already loaded yields "Failed
to load module", whereas modutils quietly ignores such a request.

 - if a module genuinely can't be loaded due to missing symbols or
similar problems, modprobe doesn't produce any useful diagnostics
because the output from insmod has been redirected to /dev/null.

Here's a patch to address these issue
