Bering uses a 2.4 series kernel, while the Dachstein-small modules from my
site are for the 2.2.19-3 Dachstein kernel.  While you might be able to get
away with using LAN modules from one 2.2 series kernel on another, you
typically can't change major version numbers successfully (too much in the
kernel changes from 2.2 to 2.4).  Try using the 2.4 series modules from
Bering, and you'll probably have better luck.
