You could be wrong, because I had exactly the same problem. After a
kernel update (from ..-n to ..-n+1 - I don't know the exact versions)
the module would not load anymore. I guess it's a bug in either the
kernel package, in not raising the right version number (i.e. new
package name), or in dkms for not updating the modules. However the
problem solved itself after the next kernel update.
