After inserting the module into the kernel, which you've done, you can 
simply restart networking with a command like:
   sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

although I've sometimes had better success with doing a stop, then a 
start, instead of a restart.

However, this will look to /etc/network/interfaces to see if you want to 
use DHCP or a static IP, so you'll probably want to look at that file first.
