loads the old nic driver version

Tags:

Hi, I downloaded the latest version driver of my network card, I compiled and installed with modprobe but when I restarted the PC, Debian loads the old version.

I tryed deleting the old e100.ko file from /lib/modules/2.6.18-custom/kernel/drivers/net so debian load the newone from /lib/modules/2.6.18-custom/kernel/drivers/net/e100 but id didn't work

This is the driver that gets loaded when the PC starts

PCI: Firmware left 0000:02:08.0 e100 interrupts enabled, disabling
e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver, 3.5.10-k2-NAPI
e100: Copyright(c) 1999-2005 Intel Corporation
e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xff9ff000, irq 185, MAC addr 00:03:47:C8:77:77
e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex

if I remove that module with modprobe -r e100 and load the new module, it gets loaded (version 3.5.17) but the next time I turn on the PC, debian loads the old module again (version 3.5.10)

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Seems your old module is loaded at boot time into the ramdisk.
Or maybe you have a bogus /etc/modules file.
