So I tried the -l flag on a few different Ubuntu machines: 18.04, 20.04.3

After getting:

modprobe: invalid option -- 'l'

I noticed that indeed "-l" is missing when running modprobe -h.

If it helps, modprobe -V gives the following version number:

mod version 27
+XZ -ZLIB +LIBCRYPTO -EXPERIMENTAL

Can someone shed some light - how can I get modporbe with "-l" flag?

Don't use some random website for manpages - Ubuntu has its own: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man8/modprobe.8.html – muru Dec 06 '21 at 22:00
