[SOLVED] mistake with /etc/modprobe.d

hi,
I was certainly dreaming when I did that....but I did it.....
I've erased /etc/modprobe.d.............
Is there anyone who know how to regenerate these files in /etc/modprobe.d?
Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] mistake with /etc/modprobe.d

This will list all your installed packages:

pacman -Qq

For a given package, this will list all the files contained in it:

pacman -Ql PACKAGENAME

That seems also to accept the PACKAGENAME via stdin. Hence you can easily string them together and grep for /etc/modprobe.d:

pacman -Qq | pacman -Ql | fgrep /etc/modprobe.d

Reinstall the packages this reports.
