Does this module work with CentOS 4.7?  The binary RPM appears to put it into
a different tree
  /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5
  /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/extra
  /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/extra/sk98lin
  /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/extra/sk98lin/sk98lin.ko

The source RPM fails with dependency issues; it looks for
kernel-devel-i386 but the package is just kernel-devel

[root]/usr/src/redhat/SPECS% rpmbuild sk98lin-kmod.spec 
error: Failed build dependencies:
        kernel-devel-i386 = 2.6.9-78.0.8.EL is needed by sk98lin-10.70.1.3-1.i386

[root]/usr/src/redhat/SPECS % rpm -qa | grep kernel-devel
kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.8.EL
