You can also have a local alias overriding in a /etc/modprobe.d/ file,
for example:
alias pcmcia:m02AAc0002f*fn*pfn*pa*pb*pc*pd* hostap_cs
modprobe will use this alias only, since it doesn't look in
module.alias if the alias is resolved before.
This allows to override the driver for a specific card, without
blacklisting a driver still usable with a whole number of cards.
