>Description:
kldload tries to load all modules by default from /boot/modules even
though kldload(8) states that /boot/kernel is the directory containing
the modules, and in sys/boot/common/module.c the default is set to
"/boot/kernel;/boot/modules" wich is almost in sync with kldconfig(8)
man page that states /boot/kernel, /boot/modules, /modules to be the
default module search path used by the kernel.
>How-To-Repeat:
kldload ucom (or any working module on your system)
>Fix:
You can either apply the attached patch or just comment out module_path
