We undertake another attempt towards seismic modelling of the most intensive studied main sequence pulsators of the early B spectral type, $\nu$ Eridani. Our analysis is extended by a requirement of fitting not only pulsational frequencies but also the complex amplitude of the bolometric flux variation, $f$, related to each mode frequency. This approach, called {\it complex asteroseismology}, provides a unique test of stellar parameters, atmospheres and opacities. In particular, the concordance of the empirical and theoretical values of $f$ we obtained for the high-order g mode opens a new gate in seismic studies of the main-sequence hybrid pulsators. The most intriguing and challenging result is that whereas an agreement of the theoretical and empirical values of $f$ for the radial mode can be achieved only with the OPAL data, a preference for the OP tables is derived from the analysis of the high-order gravity mode.
