Thanks!
Yeh I noticed it was trying to load the driver for the empty string by
renaming modprobe to
modprobe.back and then checking my logs (which is the only way I know how to
find out which module modprobe is trying to load). I'll apply the patch.
I'd assume SuSE will also provide an update since it is a real annoying bug.

This is a bug in dhclient. If is fixed in 3.0rc8. It is benign,
though annoying. THe program is searching for interfaces, finding two
in your case, and then trying to load the driver named the empty
string instead of the actual name of the interface. The system can't
find them and prints the message with the name (empty) of the not
found module/driver at the end of the message.
Below is a diff between rc7 and rc8 that fixes the problem in
common/discover.c:
@@ -406,6 +406,7 @@
log_fatal ("Can't allocate interface %s:
%s",
name, isc_result_totext
(status));
tmp -> flags = ir;
+ strncpy (tmp -> name, name, IFNAMSIZ);
interface_reference (&tmp -> next, interfaces, MDL);
interface_dereference (&interfaces, MDL);
interface_reference (&interfaces, tmp, MDL);
Note that lines numbers will be different in rc4.
HTH,

Quoting A Nourai
I am using dhclient-3.0 to configure my cable modem ip. I've configure dhclient to start at bootup. At bootup it runs, and I obtain my ip ... in fact everything works properly, except that I get 2 "modprobe: Can't locate module errors".
If I run rcdhclient start manually, I get the following in my logs. As you can see, it works, but I get this modprobe errors which are niggling.
How can I fix this? A good start would be to know what module it is looking for. I never had this problem with other versions of dhclient (Suse 6.4).
I get this error with the default suse kernel k_deflt.
