Updating /lib/modules

[JoeyJoeJo]

Im trying to install the SMC 2623 wireless nic card on my laptop, but it says it doesnt support my version of /lib/modules. I have 2.4.12 and the driver needs at least 2.4.17 and up to 2.4.7-10. How do I update this?

What you need to do is compile and install a kernel which supports your hardware. Go to http://www.kernel.org and download the latest stable tarball which is 2.4.20 atm, untar it, read the accompanying docs and compile it to your liking.
The version of /lib/modules is dependent on your kernel, so basically we are talking about a kernel upgrade here.
