FW: A fact & a problem
Hey Bob,
It sounds like we are trying to install the same module. I have the same
kernel build as you (2.2.18pre21) if I'm not mistaken. Check the following
path:
/lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/net/rtl1839.o
if it's there, try
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/net/rtl1839.o
Let me know if that works for you because I get an error from insmod when I
try it, but it may work for you.

If that modules wasn't compiled in the default debian kernel, you have
two choices, either recompile your kernel or compile the module. If
you install the 'kernel-package' Debian package, you can use it to
create a .deb package for either approach. You will also need to
install the kernel-source package for your kernel version and the gcc
compiler (also bin86 if you have i386 hardware). Read the documents
that will be installed in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package and also the
Kernel-HOWTO (in the doc-linux-text package). These should answer your
concerns.
