The Alsa distribution contain a module which is the driver for my laptop
(soft)modem. It was in the form "snd-atiixp-modem.ko.gz" in the directory
/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdksmp/kernel/sound/pci. Now, I decompressed it and
put it in /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdksmp/modem and ran "modprobe
snd-atiixp-modem.ko", and I get "module snd-atiixp-modem.ko not found". Then
I tried to put it several places, but I always get the same result. Do you
know where I should put snd-atiixp-modem.ko in order to be able to load it?
I need my modem because I will not always be at home and not always will
have a wireless connection.


Teilhard.

First - you did not need to decompress it. Teh kernel decompresses the modules as needed.

Second - you need to run "depmod -a" so that the new module is added to the module map modprobe uses.

Third - use "snd-atiixp-modem" and not "snd-atiixp-modem.ko" with modprobe. Modprobe wants the module name, and not the module file name. So you never use the ".ko.gz" when giving modprobe the module to load.
