.SH "NAME"
hotplug2\-modwrap \- modalias wrapper binary for modprobe
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBhotplug2\-modwrap\fR
[modprobe options] <modalias>
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP 
The modutils (used on 2.4 and earlier kernels to load modules) do not use fnmatch to match alias to a module. The hotplug2\-modwrap application allows us to overcome this issue.
.PP 
.SH "PARAMETERS"
.PP 
The hotplug2\-modwrap itself does not take any parameters except for modalias.
.PP 
However, you can pass unlimited ammount of parameters for modprobe, which is being executed by hotplug2\-modwrap. Please note that modalias must be the last parameter.

.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
.TP
