Sorry for the delay in responding back. I took a lightening hit early Saturday morning.

Anyway, The problem is that if you tell it to load the tulip module, the script is looking in a specific directory for tulip.o, namely '/lib/modules/2.4.31/kernel/drivers/net'. The module tulip.o does not exist in that directory. There is a subdirectory called tulip.

I tried changing the name in the modules configuration section to tulip/tulip, but the script strips the trailing filename from the directory structure and does not use the path. I did not try giving it a path from root such as " /lib/modules/2.4.31/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip" so I don't know if that would work.

The problem is just as Eric explained below.

It could be that the modules load script finds the .../net/tulip
directory, which has the same name as the module and tries to load that
directory instead of the real module.
I'm not sure if that's the case, because it looks like the script is
explicitly looking for <modulename>.o
