I tried that kind of approach but there still is a problem with the symbols
list in /usr/src/linux-header-x.x/i/can't/remember/exactly/where that is
used by the makefiles and scripts provided by the kernel to create the
module and its symbol dependency list.
Actually there's no need for the dpkg-divert thing, since you can put
the modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/

And that's why external ipw2200 won't load with external ieee80211
because it depends on old symbols.

Cheers,
