Next I compiled e1000 as a module ( e1000.ko ), and tried to insmod it into the kernel( which already had e1000 a compiled as a part of the kernel). I observed that /proc/kallsyms contained two copies of all the symbols exported by e1000, and I also got a Kernel Panic on the way. Is this behaviour natural and desirable ?
