Module versions are not very useful: > The basic problem is, the version string does not identify the sources > with enough accuracy. It says nothing about back ported fixes in > stable kernels. It tells you nothing about vendor patches to the > network core, etc. https://lore.kernel.org/all/Yf6mtvA1zO7cdzr7@lunn.ch/ While we're at it, inline the author and use the driver name a bit more.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
