The standard linux kernel module naming convention was modulename.o for <=2.4.x kernels and is modulename.ko for kernels >=2.6.x. The standard directory for modprobe to look in is /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ See man modprobe or http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO/index.html for more info. > > Thanks, > > Walt Regards, Jan
