Set version information on all symbols for modules
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
  Usually, modules have to be recompiled whenever you switch to a new
  kernel. Saying Y here makes it possible, and safe, to use the
  same modules even after compiling a new kernel; this requires the
  program modprobe. All the software needed for module support is in
  the modutils package (check the file Documentation/Changes for
  location and latest version). NOTE: if you say Y here but don't
  have the program genksyms (which is also contained in the above
  mentioned modutils package), then the building of your kernel will
  fail. If you are going to use modules that are generated from
  non-kernel sources, you would benefit from this option. Otherwise
  it's not that important. So, N ought to be a safe bet.

*MA* da man insmod:
       -f --force
              Attempt load the module even if the version of  the
              running  kernel  and  the version of the kernel for
              which the module was compiled do not  match.   This
              only  overrides the kernel version check, it has no
              effect on symbol name checks.  If the symbol  names
              in the module do not match the kernel then there is
              no way to force insmod to load the module.

{ comunque nel caso specifico di quei moduli c'e` motivo di temere
che non funzioneranno con quel "modem", anche avendo il kernel giusto }
