I am trying to compile some modules to drive a winmodem on a Clevo 2300T
Notebook.

I have downloaded the software and compiled it without problems.  When I
run insmod slmdm I get the following error.

The module you are trying to load (/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/misc/slmdm.o) is
compiled with gcc version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are running is
compiled with a gcc version 3 compiler.  This is known not to work.
.......insmod failed.

I don't understand this because when I type gcc -v I get gcc version 3.2
20020903.

I removed the modules and tried again.  The compiled modules definitely
come from gcc on the Redhat 8.0 computer.

If I insmod the relevant modules with a -f (force) I get ugly error
messages about a tainted kernel but the modem does seem to work.

Any suggestions about where I might be going wrong?

Regards
Steven
