Trying to follow the instuctions here; <a href="http://www.geocities.com/chriscmalcolm/index.htm">http://www.geocities.com/chriscmalcolm/index.htm</a> To compile and install the driver for my no name Conextant ADSL PCI modem. The card works, I used to have it working on Redhat 7 or 8 can't remember which now. Anyway I followed the directions but get a couple of odd things. The driver module is inserted, Sep 9 19:59:02 Host kernel: CnxADSL: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
