Shouldn't this be done by the 'insmod', obviously it is not happening, I
never thought that this would have been the problem, but depmod had not
made ne.o dependant on 8390.o. excerpt from
/lib/modules/2.1.21/modules.dep:

/lib/modules/2.1.21/net/8390.o:

/lib/modules/2.1.21/net/bsd_comp.o: /lib/modules/2.1.21/net/ppp.o

/lib/modules/2.1.21/net/dummy.o:

/lib/modules/2.1.21/net/ne.o:

Since ne.o needs 8390.o shouldn't it read like this:

/lib/modules/2.1.21/net/ne.o: /lib/modules/2.1.21/net/8390.o:
