Thanks Joseph. The module version and source version are identical (see below), but the kernel version is not ... because I am running the latest kernel that works for me. I will schedule downtime and carefully boot the new kernel, in order to avoid losing control of the system again. I would appreciate a pointer to a procedure for (a) opening a new kernel bug with no network connectivity, and (b) configuring grub to show a kernel selection menu.
