modprobe -l replacement for kmod?

A I learned, the '-l' switch - a it was present in m-i-t, doesn't exist for kmod. So what is your replacement for the lost '-l' functionality? Searching for *ko files in /lib/modules? Thats rather cumbersome...

What exactly did it do? A piece of the output and manpage might help my aging memory / imagination.

from Debian:

-l --list
List all modules matching the given wildcard (or "*" if no wildcard is given). This option is provided for backwards compatibility and may go away in future: see find(1) and basename(1) for a more flexible alternative.

simple function for .bashrc:

fkm() {
  find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ -iname "*$1*.ko*" | cut -d/ -f5-
  if [[ "$(uname -r)" != "$(/bin/ls -1 /lib/modules/ | head -1)" ]]; then
    echo "Did you reboot after updating your kernel?"
  fi
}

('find kernel module', or whatever you like)

Still would be nice, if kmod provided such a feature.

I like your function, thank you for sharing! But I like it more if the suffix is stripped:

fkm() {
    find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ -iname "*$1*.ko*" -exec basename {} .ko.gz \;

    if [[ "$(uname -r)" != "$(/bin/ls -1 /lib/modules/ | head -1)" ]]; then
        echo "Did you reboot after updating your kernel?"
    fi
}

needs more bash... dashes and underscores should be treated equally as well -- they're interchangeable in the land of modules, so automatically "escape" them into globs.

fkm() {
  local kver=$(uname -r) arg=${1//[-_]/[-_]}
  find "/lib/modules/$kver" -iname "*$arg*.ko*" \
    -exec bash -c 'mods=("${@##*/}"); printf "%s\n" "${mods[@]%.ko*}"' _ {} +
  
  if [[ ! -e /lib/modules/$kver/kernel ]]; then
    echo "reboot!" >&2
  fi
}
