[pvrusb2] Installation question

[Steven Karp]

I've just upgraded my system to Suse 10.2, which is the first system I've used 
that has the driver built in.  Naturally, being a danger to myself and 
society, I'd always rather use the latest version.  I did the following:

1) Build the latest standalone driver from freshly downloaded source.
2) Unplug the device from my USB port and "rmmod pvrusb2".
3) Rename the original pvrusb2.ko to pvrusb2.ko.original.
4) Copy the freshly built driver to the same directory as the original 
and "depmod -a".
5) Plug the device back into my USB port.

Everything seems to be working and a look at dmesg shows my version of the 
driver loading (pvrusb2-mci-20070428a).  My question is really whether I'm 
laying myself open to possible future problems by leaving the renamed 
original in the kernel's driver path and/or by dropping the standalone 
version in the same directory rather than creating a directory just for the 
pvusb2 driver as I have done in the past.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

	S.
