Okay, I think I've found the problem. I found the module ne.o on the machine.
When I tried to isnmod the module it came back and reported a kernel-module
mismatch. The module is for kernel 2.2.10 and the install put on kernel
2.2.13-7.
How would I make a new module for the current kernel? Why would OL install
a module for a kernel it wasn't installing?

Thanks
