This is one of the modules that require support for them to be already in the kernel if they're insmodded.

br_ioctl_hook is a BSS symbol in vmlinux _if_ CONFIG_BRIDGE=m; if you compile your Linux kernel without bridge support, you can't add it later using this module.

Solution would be to revert wbx' changes and build all modules always again, like we used to until a few weeks ago, but that sucks as it's slow. (On the other hand, the kernel wouldn't need to be recompiled if you change module config.)

Or we just force a few config symbols, such as CONFIG_BRIDGE, to be always m – I think iptables has the same problem.
