When I try to use the driver for the Netgear FA311, I get an error that reads something along the lines of

depmod: ELF not a relocatable resource

This same driver worked just fine on a K6-2 450. I'm basically a newbie with Linux, though not with computers, so simple instructions are best, if possible.

I'd really appreciate any help.

What driver would this be? Does it end in .o?

Where are you getting the message 'depmod: ELF not a relocatable resource'?

The driver is fa311.o from Netgear. The message shows up after I insmod, then reboot the computer, where it checks module dependencies.

You first insmod the module and then reboot the computer?

Do you have the module loading in /etc/modules.conf or some other place?

Here are the Google search results for that message (http://www.google.com/linux?site=search&restrict=linux&hl=en&q=depmod%3A+ELF+not+a+relocatable+resource&btnG=Google+Search).

I found my problem. I downloaded a newer version of modutils, and after that, it works fine. Thanks for trying to help.
