Wikipedia says that Provigil contains modafinil. Couldn't a doctor be prescribing Provigil?

Yes, in theory, but I know these people and they're mostly getting it illegally.

A friend’s neurologist reluctantly prescribed her Provigil a few years ago for her migraines. She described it as almost magical, not just for the migraines but for her overall mental state. But he would only give her a two week prescription. If people take modafinil long-term, what is it about Provigil that makes doctors gun shy?

I managed to successfully order modafinil from India.

I wish to strongly warn people than in certain European countries modafinil and subtances derived or precursors of it are considered highly addictive dangerous controlled psychotropic drugs. I want to bang in people's thick skulls this thing. You will get crucified.
