how are modules assigned? and how would you troubleshoot modules?
recently, I had a problem with my wifi addapter, where the solution was to blacklist ideapad_laptop in the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.
That got me wondering how the modules are assinged. My laptop is not an ideapad, and the wifi adapter is a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411. How would I ever have guessed that? Beyond that, lets say i do lsmod
and get my list of drivers (modules).

A friend of mine has an HP laptop, with the same Realtek wireless adapter as I have, and his wifi is also not working. could he blacklist ideapad_lenovo
and get the same result? I would guess not. how would someone find a kernel-module that is causing problems?
