Hello,

I have a usb-nic (DWL-G122 B1) working on fedora 8 (kernel 2.6.24.3-50)

I try to understand the working of driver/modules.


When I look into /etc/modprobe.conf
I do not find any alias entry for this interface (wlan1)
I am wondering how this is working

dmesg | grep rt2 gives :

Registered led device: rt2500usb-phy0:radio
usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2500usb

so I guess rt2500usb module is used for it.


Am I right ?


My goal is to replace this driver by an other one. (rt2570-k2wrlz : a driver that is patched for packet injection)

Will it be enough to blacklist rt2500usb only in the blacklist-file?

regards,
