Hiya all

I have a laptop with one of the dreaded $$$modems. I managed to find a driver 
for it last night, unfortunately compiled for kernel 2.2.12. When I try and 
install this driver I get the following:-

kernel module mis-match
esscom.o  was complied for kernel version 2.2.12-20 while this kernel is 
2.2.18

Is there any way to force this module to load, or is it unlikely to work 
anyway. If I find someone clever enough can this driver be 'reverse 
engineered' and recompiled for 2.2.18.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, however I would like to know one 
way or the other. I do have a regular modem I carry around with the laptop, 
but its obviously better to try and get the internal one to work.

Thank you and kind regards
