modprobe failed: no /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0

Hello,
I have installed potato on an old machine.  I'm trying to reconfigure
the modules so that the ethernet card will work.  When I run depmod,
I get the following message:

depmod: Can't open /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/modules.dep for writing

So I do "cd /lib/modules" and "ls" and get:

2.2.15

"unmame -a" tells me that I'm running 2.2.14-5.0.

I don't understand why I have /lib/modules/2.2.15, and not 
/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0, although it explains why when I do
"modprobe ne io=0x300" I get:

modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/modules.dep (No such file or directory)

I tried "ln -s 2.2.15 2.2.14-5.0" and reran "modprobe ne io=0x300" and
get a bunch of unresolved symbol messages....

Anyone have a clue on this?

TIA.
