Package: boot-floppy I tried to install the network module e1000.o with the function "Install foreign Modules". This procedure works well with kernel 2.2.20 but does not work with 2.4.18-bf2.4. The installation program wants to copy the module e1000.o from the floppy directory /lib/modules/net to the directory /target/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/net. This target directory does not exist, because the network drivers of the kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4 are located in /target/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/net (in difference to kernel 2.2.20). So the installation program creates a ***file*** named "net" in /target/lib/modules/2.4.28-bf2.4/. If I created the /target/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/net directory before applying the "Install foreign Modules" function, the e1000.o module was copied into this directory correctly, but the following modconf function couldn't find it for configuration of cause. So I had to copy the module into the /target/.../kernel/drivers/net directory manually. After this the modconf program can find the new driver module.
