thanks, I will try that,

nevertheless consider activating the config option to force loading of 
modules, so that the Debian kernel complies with the guidelines of operation 
following:

Modules without symbol version information can only be loaded on the
exact kernel version for which they were compiled. Modules with symbol
version information can be loaded into more recent kernels as long as
none of the symbols exported by the kernel have changed. This provides
a reasonable level of confidence but does not guarantee that the module
will work.
