If you install the baclports drivers, they will replace the standard ones.
Even for drivers built into my kernel (not as modules?). Just making
sure, as I seem to have encountered a problem:
After installing the backports version of rtl8192ce and rebooting,
wlan0 is not longer showing up when I run "ifconfig".
lsmod shows compat and rtl8192c_common, but not rtl8192ce. If I try
'modprobe rtl8192ce' I get this error: "Unknown symbol in module, or
unknown parameter (see dmesg)"
dmesg shows "rtlwifi: Unknown symbol mac80211_ieee80211_rx (err 0)"
I'm not sure, but I would expect you need the standard ones to be modules. I
always build all wireless devices as modules. That way when one goes bad, you
have a chance to recover with an unload/load sequence with modprobe. If it
works, you save a reboot.
I am assuming that you built mac80211 from the backported source. That is required.
