Hi, Thanks, I did the recompile and have to use the -f option with insmod, but it works. For anyone here who has a Lucent LT pci modem (commonly found in laptops) this is to let you know that it works quite well using the lucent module. The install script works, with the exception that it writes the insmod line to rc.local file which is the equivalent to boot.local so some hand editing of that file may be required. Tim

Hi gang,
I downloaded the lucent modem driver from linmodems.org. When I do # insmod ltmodem.o I get an error indicating that it was compiled for kernel 2.2.12-20
and
the current kernel is 2.2.13.
modprobe reports that it can't find the module.
The laptop list reports that it works with RH6.1 (I'd rather not resort to that). This is a fresh 6.3 install (stock pentium kernel). The module is binary only :-( I'm sure this can be resolved, but am uncertain of the particulars. Does anyone know what the proceedure is to get binary only modules working across kernel versions? No, I don't want to edit the makefile and change the kernel version there :-P
Anyone?
I can't remember which kernel compile option it is, but there is a way to compile the kernel, so that it accepts modules from other kernels. Recompile your kernel to include this feature.
