Upstream modprobe from module-init-tools (the version 3.12 at least) has such options. The -D is the short option for --show-depends. The man 8 modprobe describes it. I have used it on current Archlinux, on Ubuntu 09.10. Now i found it on Debian 5.0. This distributive has module-init-tools version 3.4. The Arch's utility hwdetect (script to detect hardware) use this feature from upstream modprobe. So it cause for me to implement -D in busybox. I don't want use big module-init-tools in my buildroot embedded system.
