Hi all.  Thanks for all your great work on this list.

I have a general question that is more Linux than LEAF but I expect you
guys will be able to answer it for me.  I tried to add smc-ultra.o to a
Bering distro I'm putting together but when I ran insmod
/lib/modules/smc-ultra.o I got a list of unresolved symbol messages.  I
may have other problems with the NIC I am using so I'm not looking for
specific answers at the moment but can someone point me in the direction
of some instruction of what causes the unresolved symbol messages?
There are two common causes.

1. The module being loaded depends on another module that has not been loaded previously (or some kernel feature that has not been compiled in). (Check the appropriate modules.dep file for this, but I don't believe smc-ultra has dependencies in 2.4.x kernels.)

2. There is a version mismatch between the module and the kernel it is being insmod'ed to. (Check where you got the module from to see if it goes with your kernel.)
