OK - lo and behold, I find unsupported stuff in centosplus (thanks guys
- you are really good)

when I installed them, they are placed in a separate tree and that
confuses me...

[root at srv1 etc]# ls -l /lib/modules/
total 48
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Aug 18 17:56 2.6.9-11.106.unsupported
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Aug 18 17:57 2.6.9-11.106.unsupportedsmp
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Aug 16 21:23 2.6.9-11.EL
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Aug 16 21:24 2.6.9-11.ELsmp
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Jun  8 19:58 kabi-4.0-0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Jun  8 20:24 kabi-4.0-0smp

so my guess is that I have to 
cp -R /lib/modules/xxx.unsupportedsmp/kernel/net/appletalk \
/lib/modules/xxxELsmp/kernel/net

and then I suppose I have to mkinitrd and reboot to make the copied
Appletalk module work?

Am I missing something simpler?
