# `non-conf-file-in-modprobe.d`

Files in `/etc/modprobe.d` should use filenames ending in `.conf`. modprobe silently ignores all files which do not match this convention.

If the file is an example containing only comments, consider installing it in another location as files in `/etc/modprobe.d` are read each time modprobe is run (which is often at boot time).

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
