Strange ...

$ man modconf
No manual entry for modconf
$ man modprobe

BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
        This version of modprobe is  for  kernels  2.5.48  and  above. 
  If  it detects  a kernel with support for old‐style modules (for which 
much of the work was done in userspace), it will attempt to run 
modprobe.modutils in its place, so it is completely transparent to the user.
