    network card installation problem please help

    i run ubuntu hardy and have a p5gc asus motherboard, with a nic on board it is the r8168. the problem is commonly known that it does not work right out of the box, there is a fix for it, but only works with kernel 2.6.24-16 and i got the 2.6.24-17 and it does not work anymore. i have found this site:
    http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html
    the author was so nice to offer precompiled drivers for 2.6.24-17 but i got no clue how to install them, can anyone please help? thx in advance

    addition: these are the steps i follow from the readme in the tarball and i get this:
    sorry to bother again, i downloaded the tarball, did:

    rmmod r8169

    depmod -a

    cp r8168_scripts/precompiled/r8168.ko.v6.17-generic \

    /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/r8168.ko

    then did

    insmod r8168.ko

    but get an error:

    insmod: error inserting ‘r8168.ko’: -1 Invalid module format

    what am I doing wrong? thx for the help again
