How do I remove madwifi modules

[okos]

I need to upgrade and patch the madwifi driver for my pcmcia wireless card.
However, before I do that I need to remove the old madwifi modules.
How do I do that without messing up my system?
I don't think that I can just delete them.
I also do not see it listed on the synaptic package manager.
On the other hand, I can see that the card does show up in lspci and knetwork manager.
I cannot find the package source on my system.




$locate madifi
/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/madwifi

Any help would be much appreciated.

Can you simply remove linux-restricted-modules?

Can you simply remove linux-restricted-modules?

I removed the comments updated apt-get and madwifi isnt in the synaptic manager.

I need to upgrade and patch the madwifi driver for my pcmcia wireless card.I guess I thought you had an updated package in mind. Your question was how to remove madwifi and I think removing linux-restricted-modules does it. Did you try? Did it remove madwifi?
