Obviously the various distros have some differences in packaging...
and there is no 0.9.71 in Debian (the latest available is 0.9.70-17).
Of course there are two kernel modules -- mol and sheep_net -- which
have to be compiled against the same version kernel you are running,
or you could have trouble.

I'm running OS 9.2.2, but the Debian package separates some of the
drivers into "macos" and "macosx" versions, and I don't even have the
macosx drivers. For the ones I have installed, all those files go into
/usr/share/mol/drivers/ and there are separate .ow and .nw drivers.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is documented -- there are a lot of
doc files scattered around, though I have not grabbed the source files
to see if there are more docs there.

I gather you don't see any messages when you run it from a terminal.
