One other question... For the WIFIMODS... there's no way to pass in parameters for modprobe. I'm thinking we should change the delimiter from space to semi-colon or comma (some arguments take comma-separated values, so semi-colon is the least problematic). Maybe also change the name from WIFIMODS to WIFI_MODS so we can detect configs that haven't been updated.
