Thanks Tuan;

Unfortunately, I did all of that and am still having the same problem!
There is now a /lib/modules/2.1.131 where there wasn't before. It does
include a 3c509.o so I don't know what the issue is..

Hey,
You need to rebuild the modules for 2.1.x and reinstall them.
make modules; make modules_install
That should do it. Do a "depmod -a" after you reboot to your 2.1.x
kernel.
later,
Tuan
