Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: module-init-tools
I use a custom driver for CDC ETHER device and have a conflict with a standard
cdc_ether driver.
I put my custom_cdc driver into "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra" and run depmod,
which according to man depmod.conf should make my custom_cdc driver to load
with high priority then standard cdc_ether driver. But it seems that depmod
doesn't take into account /etc/depmod.d/ubuntu.conf config when building
modules dependencies and modules.alias. So cdc_ether driver is loaded first
when I plug my divice, but if my custom_cdc driver is located in extra it
should be loaded first.
Here is alias of my driver and cdc_ether driver:
custom_cdc usb:v148Ep0900d*dc*dsc*dp*ic02isc06ip00*
cdc_ether usb:v*p*d*dc*dsc*dp*ic02isc06ip00*
And here is udev event which loads driver by alias:
MODALIAS=usb:v148Ep0900d0001dc02dsc00dp00ic02isc06ip00
MODALIAS=usb:v148Ep0900d0001dc02dsc00dp00ic0Aisc00ip00
So my custom_cdc driver has more concrete alias which include particular
vendor/device id, but for some reason cdc_ether still loaded instead of my
driver. This is because depmod build incorrect modules.alias where custom_cdc
located after cdc_ether.
In debian it works correctly, because depmod produce modules.alias file
with custom_cdc in the first line.
