I did try that, but got the same message about 2.2.17 kernels and 2.2.5 
modules. The module may not have been compiled with MODVERSIONS set. <shrug>

The module came with a makefile; its grand contribution to the whole affair 
is one gcc command line. If I try to compile it, I get lib errors as it 
interprets, say:

#include<asm/byteorder.h>

to mean /include/asm/byteorder.h, not 
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/byteorder.h. Very annoying. Even worse is that 
any #includes in the called headers will also be wrong, but I am extremely 
unwilling to change them all.

Thanks; I'll check it out.
