When on Wed, 15 Nov 2000, George Vieira wrote, I replied:

Here's what I've tried:

root at rjw# locate mppe.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-storm/net/mppe.o
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.16-storm-ide/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.o
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.16-storm-ide/drivers/net/.ppp_mppe.o.flags
/usr/src/ppp-2.3.8/pppd/mppe.o
root at rjw#  locate emu10k1.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-storm.old/misc/emu10k1.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-storm/misc/emu10k1.o
root at rjw# insmod /usr/src/ppp-2.3.8/pppd/mppe.o
/usr/src/ppp-2.3.8/pppd/mppe.o: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for
root at rjw# insmod /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.16-storm-ide/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.o
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.16-storm-ide/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.o: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for
root at rjw# cp /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.16-storm-ide/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.o /lib/modules/2.2.16-storm/net
root at rjw# insmod ppp_mppe.o
ppp_mppe.o: ppp_mppe.o: No such file or directory

I'm puzzled and chagrined.
