I tried to put the module in my /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net
directory and then run depmod -a but I got the following error:
shark:/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net# depmod -a
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net/bcm4400.o

I compiled the module bcm4400.o against the kernel-headers-2.4.18
package (ie. the one for my kernel-source 2.4.18), so I don't understand
these unresolved symbol errors.

It seems that the compiled kernel I have has different symbols to what
the module expects despite the fact that I have used the correct
kernel-headers package to compile the module against.  I don't know
enough about compiling modules and kernel symbol tables etc. to figure
out where to go from here.

Thanks if anyone can help further.
Mark.
