[Bug 393400] Re: thinkpad_ec.ko from tp-smapi-modules-2.6.28-13-generic doesn't replace version in linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic

[Diggory]

Hi,
It's not still an issue for me, since I haven't had to use the force_io=1 option for a while. I don't know about the module searching priority; could just be that modprobe simply takes the first module it finds. I think my point though was that when installing a user-generated kernel module it should replace standard modules with the same name rather than go alongside them, so as not to confuse users like me not realising that a different module was loaded. I can't really see a general solution to this though, other than the user-made module replacing the original file (which may not be desirable since it belongs to a package).

Sorry, I was thinking this was a packaging problem, but maybe not, in
which case you may want to report it upstream or just forget about it
for now.
