Sorry, no answer to your question, but I've got another question concerning modules and their recognition: Why do modules use .o as extension? Of course, they're object files, but very special ones, so an extension like .mod would make much more sense, IMHO. If I remeber correctly, the old insmod/depmod/modprobe (never looked at TNG) even checked for .mod in some places, but it didn't work because the check for .mod was missing at some other places.
