Hi;

I tried my self with the latest ISO image and can't confirm your problem.

What I did was:

! mount iso9660 /dev/cdrom

crc32   --> needs to be loaded for tulip
tulip    --> from ISO loaded by command above
tun     --> from as well ISO  - just to be shure that part loading etc works

what I see is:
tulip - 
Using /var/lib/lrpkg/mnt/lib/modules/./2.4.31/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o

insmod: init_module: tulip: No such device

Which is indeed true, since I do not have tulip card in my system.

Needless to say that tun.o got loaded.

I also wanted to to make shure modutils doesn't cheat at me and used "cp" with 
the same parameter given to insmod and it worked - I don't see a problem with 
directory and module having the same name...
Using the complete path as parameter for insmod, gave the same result as above 
- "no device" (which is still true:)).

IMHO everything seems to work as expected.
