1. Not to be harsh, but this list is DEBIAN-hams, so we may or may not be able to help.

2. What modules were loaded (can you send the output from lsmod)?

It appears that the mkiss support is missing, indicating the module is not loaded 
(or compiled into the kernel).  Does Ubuntu include the mkiss module in their kernel
package?
