    Well no one can blame you i suppose, however this is the millionth time
    this question has been asked.
    The problem was actually answered in your error messages NO MKISS support
    in your kernel or you do not have the module loaded.

    One check /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/net ( i belive thats the kernel version
    from a install of Redhat 6.1) and see if there is a file called mkiss.o.
    If its there do.

    modprobe mkiss

    Thats the way to load the module, if its not there then i rear you will
    need to recompile your kernel with MKISS support.

    On my home page URL is in the sig, you will find more help on this subject.
