I'd rather asssume that the old driver version (delivered as part of
Mandrake 9.2) resides in 3rdParty/at76c503 and the Makefile of the Berlios
sources put the new version into ../usb. If you get two drivers for the
same USB id pair, it depends on depmod's scan order, which one will be put
first in the modules.usbmap and get activated later.

Maybe "make install" should first remove any driver files found under
/lib/modules/`umask`/ before installing itself?
