Hey Starn,

Don't know this one. Is it PCMCIA? (For all others you do not need any
modules, I think.) Read

What software did you get? This module (pctel.o) is not part of the
normal kernel, is it? So did you get the source code or just compiled
version?

You do not compile the kernel with insmod, this is just to load a module
(pctel.o here).

Well, two ways to get round: Either you "downgrade" your kernel to
version 2.2.5 (which I do _not_ recomment) or you recompile the module
with new kernel-headers (from your actual kernel); you need the source
code (for the module) to do so. There's even a third (fourth ...) way:
you could try to give your kernel a bogus version number. ;-)
So I think you just need to recompile the module (pctel.o). As you tried
before but be sure to have gcc instlled.

Well, ptmodule seems different from pctel, no?

Do you have gcc installed? Try "which gcc" to find out (without inverted
commas, of course).

I'm not sure about that one (error 127). Anybody?

Okay, this is just for modules which come with the kernel-source code or
applied patches. Sorry for misleading you.
Hope this helps.
