It's a really small distro (OpenWRT) running on mipsel architecture.
It doesn't have modprobe (in fact, it has only 10 modules or so).

I didn't upload (I was cross-compiling on another machine) the kernel 
after I uploaded the modules - it would mean I have to reflash the whole 
device.

Perhaps when I upload kernel everything will play?
We'll see.
