Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-31-generic

With recent versions of the linux-backports-modules-wireless package
you get a usbnet.ko that gets loaded instead of the usbnet.ko that is
supplied with the kernel package and the drivers from those packages
that uses usbnet.ko will conflict.

On my system (10.04) I have these

/lib/modules/2.6.32-31-generic/kernel/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-31-generic/updates/compat-wireless-2.6.34/usbnet.ko

and the asix driver

/lib/modules/2.6.32-31-generic/kernel/drivers/net/usb/asix.ko

will only work with the first usbnet.ko but the system will always load
the second usbnet.ko causing errors like the one in Bug #382297.
