You can find out your kernel release with uname.

$ uname -r

Does the work with a manual insmod? If so, have you tried mentioning 
them in /etc/modules?

$ cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

ne    io=0x280 irq=5
