If you're cross-compiling compat-wireless on a different host, you can't reliably use modprobe. The host system may not even have modprobe, so it doesn't make sense to run modprobe, unless you're installing the modules on the target machine. The modprobe command was being used unconditionally to set the MADWIFI and OLD_IWL variables. This commit adds a check to see whether modprobe exists before trying to use. It also adds a dependency on the modprobe commands to all recipes that rely on it, so we fail more gracefully if modprobe doesn't exist in the system.
