You need the specific kernel the module was designed to work with - not just similar, exactly the same. > How can I find out what the module actually needs?

For example, if the module is written to work with a Fedora-modified 2.6.9 kernel, you need that exact kernel - a vanilla 2.6.9 from kernel.org may be the same version, but it's not the same kernel. > I suppose it goes back to my, what exactly does that error mean? You're trying to use the module with a kernel other than the one it was written for. What distribution is the module designed to work with? I'd be very surprised if it wasn't available for download somewhere.
