Removing drivers

[anarcholinuxism]

* If you had previously compiled in the patched CDCEther driver, remove it from the kernel, having both drivers compiled will prevent the new driver from working.

How do I do that?

While we're at it, what is the difference between a driver and a module?

either don't load it if it is compiled as a module, or recompile your kernel without it if it was compiled right in.

a driver is a module, but a module doesn't necessarily have to have a driver.

a module a piece of kernel code that is modularized so that it can be added / removed to / from the kernel dynamically.
