In case something has gone awry however, check to see if the .o that you
made is in /lib/modules/<kernel version/ somewhere. If you aren't sure
what the .o name is, you could do
$ find . -name \*.o |sort > /tmp/before
<build process>
$ find . -name \*.o |sort > /tmp/after
$ diff /tmp/before /tmp/after
...to find out. When I install new modules in my system, I tend to copy
the .o into /lib/modules manually, run depmod -a, and add it into
/etc/modules if I want it on-boot. (surely however this shouldn't be
necessary, and it should be autoloaded when something tries to use the
eth interface?)
