Just a misrepresentation! The kernel already include the mkiss's driver. As I wrote before, openSUSE's kernel maintainer compressed it as mkiss.ko.xz. Now, I found the reason. Generally, we can use this driver, he just do; # xz -d mkiss.ko.xz # insmod mkiss.ko But, in this case, we get the error message; # insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/hamradio/mkiss.ko insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/5.6.8-2.1-default/kernel/drivers/net/hamradio/mkiss.ko: Unknown symbol in module Then I did; # modinfo /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/hamradio/mkiss.ko This returns; filename: /lib/modules/5.6.8-2.1-default/kernel/drivers/net/hamradio/mkiss.ko alias: tty-ldisc-5 license: GPL description: KISS driver for AX.25 over TTYs author: Ralf Baechle DL5RB <ralf@linux-mips.org> suserelease: openSUSE Tumbleweed srcversion: D30613825BD448E41B9B235 depends: ax25 retpoline: Y intree: Y name: mkiss vermagic: 5.6.8-2.1-default SMP mod_unload modversions parm: crc_force:crc [0 = auto | 1 = none | 2 = flexnet | 3 = smack] (int) That is, the above insmod's error is caused due to a mismatch in the exact kernel version of the mkiss driver and your installed openSUSE system. Unfortunately Linux is very critical concerning the kernel module version and it refuses to load kernel drivers that do not match 100%. So, openSUSE's kernel maintainer always compress it. Sorry, I've got no idea how to solve this issue. The messase; [...] suserelease: openSUSE Tumbleweed [...] might give you a clue.
