I'm not sure how you're missing this (well, it was obvious when I did it
anyhow) but those modules are compiled with GCC 2.x and (null) uses GCC
3.x for everything, kernel included.  This, as attempting to load the
module manually will tell you "is known not to work."

Hopefully soon after RH 8's release they'll update their drivers to
support us!  I crave online death and destruction, UT style!
