Hi Alexander,
We talked with folks in the Services group a few times about this. In
summary:
1) modinfo isn't actually giving you the module version. It's giving
you the SCCS delta of the file that happened to contain the %I% string.
This may or may not have changed as the driver was changed, so it's
potentially misleading.
2) mdb's ::showrev & ::objects -v are better ways of getting some
version number (at least as to what build the module came from, which is
arguably better than an SCCS delta) for modules.
cheers,
steve
