Modules from other dist's ??

[Phil <phillinux@brainlink.com>]

I couldn't get my NIC to work because the module didn't exist in except on 
the internet. (can't logon).  I found the module I need (e1000.o) when I 
put  SuSE the machine.  Can I copy the e1000.o file into the /lib/..../net/ 
directory when I put Debian back on  and use it??  or are these things 
complied differently for different distributions??

sorry if this is a stupid question.
