[Bro] Module pf_ring not found.

[John Hoyt]

I went back and re-ran make install from the kernel directory and got the
following output:

mkdir -p /lib/modules/3.8.0-38-generic/kernel/net/pf_ring

cp *.ko /lib/modules/3.8.0-38-generic/kernel/net/pf_ring

cp linux/pf_ring.h /usr/include/linux

/sbin/depmod 3.8.0-38-generic

Then I re-ran the command:

modprobe pf_ring enable_tx_capture=0 min_num_slots=32768

And got the error:
FATAL: Error inserting pf_ring
(/lib/modules/3.8.0-38-generic/kernel/net/pf_ring/pf_ring.ko): Invalid
module format


Then, I went back through the steps of re-running make install, beginning
with the directoryPF_RING-5.6.1/userland/lib

Still no luck.

I checked the make file for each before re-running the install to make sure
that the prefix was still set.

Thanks,
John
