Public bug reported: Oneiric kernels seem to have an issue with the version numbering on the kernel build system not being set correctly:
$ uname -a Linux cheetah 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ head /lib/modules/3.0.0-14-generic/build/Makefile VERSION = 3 PATCHLEVEL = 0 SUBLEVEL = 9 EXTRAVERSION = NAME = Sneaky Weasel What this means is that if you use Module-Assistant to build a driver (e.g. vloopback) or install WebcamStudio (http://www.ws4gl.org/) then the module will be installed in the wrong place -- specifically, the kernel's build system will install the modules in /lib/modules/3.0.9, when they should be installed in /lib/modules/3.0.0-14-generic. This happens with the r8168 (Realtek Ethernet) driver, WebcamStudio, and several other modules.
