I will have a go at both. Further analysis indicates that the modules are simply not being copied/written to /lib/modules/2.2.17. That is, there are only three that are: ppp_deflate.o, bsd_comp.o (in /lib/../net), and zft-compressor.o (in /lib/.../misc). There are no other subdirectories, and modules.dep contains only those three. Interestingly, the kernel source (i.e. in /usr/src/linux shows exactly those three modules in /usr/src/linux/drivers/modules, and no others). If I attempt to insmod rtl8139.o, for example (I'm trying to set up a home network), using /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/rtl8139.o, I get the error message: "couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for". Would it suffice to simply copy all the drivers to /lib/modules/2.2.17? TIA Cam Cam Ellison, Ph.D., R.Psych.
