kernel mismatch

[David Paul BELANGER]

I am assuming you are using Debian.  I did it a few weeks ago, I hope I
got it right.

You need the packages:
- mol-modules-source
- your kernel headers: kernel-headers-(your kernel version)

instructions are in:
- /usr/share/doc/mol-modules-source/README.Debian
Do:
1) Unpacking the source
2) Then I would suggest that you compile with kernel-package instead of
make.  (you need to install kernel-package).
You install it and it should work.
