Hey Bob, It sounds like we are trying to install the same module. I have the same kernel build as you (2.2.18pre21) if I'm not mistaken. Check the following path:
/lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/net/rtl1839.o if it's there, try insmod /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/net/rtl1839.o Let me know if that works for you because I get an error from insmod when I try it, but it may work for you. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Nielsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 10:55 AM To: Victor Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: A fact & a problem If that modules wasn't compiled in the default debian kernel, you have two choices, either recompile your kernel or compile the module. If you install the 'kernel-package' Debian package, you can use it to create a .deb package for either approach. You will also need to install the kernel-source package for your kernel version and the gcc compiler (also bin86 if you have i386 hardware). Read the documents that will be installed in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package and also the Kernel-HOWTO (in the doc-linux-text package). These should answer your concerns.
