wireless card broken with kernel upgrade

Unruh

well here's the weird thing vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 has a date of may 20, but initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386 has a date of may 27 which is when i did my last apt-get upgrade and i noticed it upgrading and setting up the new kernel. what gives? why is the vmlinuz dated the 20th even though i don't remember apt-get updating anything kernel-realted on that date, but only the img file is dated the 27th, the day i actually saw the upgrade take place?

the onlly modprobe.conf file i could find was:usr-share-doc-module-init-tools-examples-generate-modprobe.conf.gzusr-share-man-man5-modprobe.conf.5.gz

i can't actually find a modprobe.conf file. either way, i'm not sure why the new kernel swapped eth0 and eth1. at least i got it working again.
