Maybe, mkiss's driver is compressed.

If so, please try this;
$ sudo xz -d /lib/modules/[kernel version/kernel/drivers/net/hamradio/mkiss.ko.xz
You will get the kernel driver, mkiss.ko.
Please don't take that advice. ALL kernel modules are in the form <name>.ko.xz
Uh no, that's is new, Anton, probably only in Tumbleweed.
I see much older versions: test_a__factory_10.2/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/drivers/net/hamradio/mkiss.ko
FIRST: determine if you kernel has that module
-> modinfo mkiss
If you do decompress the module (for whatever reason), just run 'depmod' afterwards.
I see 'mkiss' in 15.0 and in Tumbleweed, but not in 15.1.
Tumbleweed: # zgrep -i mkiss /proc/config.gz CONFIG_MKISS=m
Leap 15.1: per@test150:~> zgrep -i mkiss /proc/config.gz (nothing)
I think it should have shown:
CONFIG_MKISS is not set
Rough guess - mkiss was removed from that kernel, for some reason.
Right. So, Bugzilla and ask. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
