There is an option in insmod, -f to force the loading of a module even if
the kernel version is not the good one.
But I tried to it, taking a module from my 2.2.10 kernel, (the hp-plus
module, a module for an hp ethernet card) and then running setup -m with
the -f added to insmod, but it returned an error message, stating that
there was some symboles not defined, and also the error for the kernel
version.
