From my debuging experience I see, that .probe function is fired always after 'insmod myModule' (when e1000e is not present).
Steps
- after power on do not remove 'e1000e' driver
- 'insmod myModule'
Now .probe function from myModule is not executed. Only init_module function operates.
Your experience trumps my guess. Device ID's trump "probe". If you want to override/ignore PCI IDs, check out the PCI NE2000 driver.

What if I add myModule to autorun?
To what?
The kernel doesn't care about which thing calls insmod/modprobe.
If you want to never load the intel one, add the intel one to modules.blacklist

rmmod(8) System Manager's Manual rmmod(8)
NAME
rmmod -- simple program to remove a module from the Linux Kernel
SYNOPSIS
rmmod [-f] [-w] [-s] [-v] [modulename]
DESCRIPTION
rmmod is a trivial program to remove a module (when module unloading support is provided) from the kernel. Most users will want to use
modprobe(8) with the -r option instead.
OPTIONS
-v --verbose
Print messages about what the program is doing. Usually rmmod prints messages only if something goes wrong.
-f --force
This option can be extremely dangerous: it has no effect unless CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was compiled.
With this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or which are not designed to be removed, or have been marked as
unsafe (see lsmod(8)).
-w --wait Normally, rmmod will refuse to unload modules which are in use. With this option, rmmod will isolate the module, and wait until
the module is no longer used. Nothing new will be able to use the module, but it's up to you to make sure the current users
eventually finish with it. See lsmod(8)) for information on usage counts.
-s --syslog
Send errors to syslog instead of standard error.
-V --version
Show version of program and exit.
