Current Status of Module Utilities for 2.5 Kernels?

[Chris Bradford]

I'm using Slackware 9.0 beta as my distribution, which uses gcc 3.2.1 as
its C compiler.  My problems started when I noted that kernel 2.4 is not
compilable by gcc v3.x.  I upgraded to linux 2.5.59, which does work with
gcc 3.x.  My upgrade produced another hitch, I was unable to use modules.
My video card, which uses an nVidia TNT2, is of limited usefulness without
the ability to load modules.

Is there a work-around for my problems?
