SubjectQ: What will happen if I insmod a new version driver when it has already been statically in kernel?
Hi all,

We have one driver which has been statically compiled into kernel, and
now we want to upgrade it. But we only have a new version module for
this driver. Could I just insmod this module and make the new driver
work?

If so, what happens to the static old one?

If not, Can we upgrade this driver without re-compile the kernel to
make the in-kernel driver out or module?

Thanks,
Yang
