Generally, if you've just installed a new module you should run
"depmod -a". Ideally
this will be in one of your system start-up scripts, so there's a good
chance you won't
need to do this. If the module dependencies are built, then using
"modprobe <module name>" should load it in along with the dependencies.
This is preferable to "insmod <module name>", which doesn't do the
same dependency
resolution. Also, you shouldn't use the full path or the .o extension.
If you still have problems, send the complete error message. It'll
usually include
the symbols that weren't resolved. It might be that you need to install another
module.
