Not necessarily - Debian 2.1r3 comes with modutils 2.1.121, which works perfectly with every post-2.0 kernel I've tried, which includes * 2.1.125 -> the end of 2.2.0pre9 (which is the end of 2.1) * 2.2.0 -> 2.2.13 * 2.3.25 (haven't tried anything newer) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
