        Err, you do not seem to have any third party modules
 installed, so there is nothing to do. At least spitting out the
 script showed us why no action was taken.

It's probably just my ignorance getting in the way, but I'm not trying
to install third-party modules.

I've run "make menuconfig" and selected Device Drivers/Sound/Advanced
Linux Sound Architecture/PCI Devices/ and put "M" on Intel
i8x0/MX440...8111.

Then when I run "make-kpkg kernel_image" and install the resulting .deb
and reboot, I can't find the i8x0 module, either ma...

        Well, modules* targets act only on third party modules.

        Well, one would need to look at your config, and the results
 of 'dpkg-deb --contents linux-image*.deb" to go further on helping
 out with this.

Sorry I haven't gotten back with you.

I gave up on compiling my own kernel, and on trying to get the modem to
work. Running out of time to tinker any further, I (reluctantly) left
the Debian side of the box "dial-up challenged" (although ethernet works
great - unfortunately, my acquaintance/"customer" doesn't have
broadband), and resorted to leaving Win98 (gack!) on the box for my
"customer's" computer usage.

Accordingly, I no longer have access to the box for further diagnostics.

I suggest you close this bug report, attributing the problem to user
error. If there's really a problem in the package, surely someone else
will report it.

Thanks!
