Comment 16 for bug 376577

Hi TTimo, I'm trying to replace my older 1.8.0.0 driver version.

I downloaded and compiled the 2.3.0.0 version, then issued the commands rmmod rt2860sta and insmod rt2860sta without any error.

But when I check the driver version with modinfo, I still read 1.8.0.0 (even after rebooting the machine).

Only manually copying the rt2860sta.ko over the old one (located in /lib/modules/2.6.29.4/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860/rt2860sta.ko) made the job.

Since I'm not an expert, I'm worried about the possibility to have an instable device. I'm doing this on a backtrack 4 pre-final.

May you tell me what you think?

Thanks a lot and best regards
