If it was a versioning conflict, the error message would have been quite
clear. I don't recall the message that generates offhand, something along
the lines of "module built for version foo, but you are running version
bar." unresolved symbols generally indicate that the module being loaded
requires another module be loaded first.
The modules should be the same for 0.3.5 and 0.3.6. However, smc-ultra.o
has a dependency on 8390.o. 8390.o probably needs to be loaded first.
Modprobe (as opposed to insmod) might have resolved it, I'm not sure, and
I don't have the hardware for testing it.
