[ltp] madwifi stupid question

Hi,
I never compiled a kernel and am fairly new to compiling C/C++ at
all. ... That much to excuse myself for this question:
Why are the *.ko files that "make install" copies from /usr/src/madwifi
in /lib/modules/2.6.10/net not found when I try "modprobe ath_pci"?
I am sure this is something trivial like symlinking it to somewhere or
writing some line in some /etc file but I can't figure it out...
I did this:
- cd to /usr/src
- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/madwifi co
madwifi
- make
- make install
- modprobe ath_pci
FATAL: Module ath_pci not found.
Now finally being so close to my goal of having my wireless card
running... what's wrong? Why are the *.ko files lying there
in /lib/modules/2.6.10/net so lonely when all the other modules are
in /lib/modules/2.6.10-1-686/kernel/net?
Thank you
pascal
