Recently, there has been considerable progress in classifying the irreducible representations of Iwahori--Hecke algebras at roots of unity. Here, we present an application of these results to ℓ-modular Harish--Chandra series for a finite group of Lie type G(q). Under some mild condition on ℓ, we show that the ℓ-modular principal series representations of G(q) are naturally parametrized by a \em subset of the set of complex irreducible characters of the Weyl group of G(q). We also show that this subset is ``generic'' in a precise sense.
