just run modprobe? Then you don't have to care.
IN_KERNEL=$(/sbin/modprobe -vn "${module_name}") if [ -z "${IN_KERNEL}" ; then /bin/echo "Module: ${module_name} is in the kernel" else /bin/echo "Module: ${module_name} would need to be loaded" /bin/echo "${IN_KERNEL}" fi
Or similar. Yeah it's a little ugly but only as prone to failure as module-init-tools
