I think I understand: you built a new driver, ran a 'make install' to
install it, and you suspect that the makefile removed another device's
driver. However, since the latter driver is already loaded into RAM,
you don't notice its loss until the next time you reboot.

I don't know the makefile, nor anything specific to Ubuntu. But if the
procedure selects a specific driver, then its installation step should
not delete other drivers!

All's well that ends well! ;-)
