Unable to stat means that the file is listed in the deb/tarball
directory but it can't actually get the file out of the archive.
Run mc (or anything else you have that can look in debs) and see if
yellowfin.ko is in the deb.
You used two different means of trying to install a deb, but they both
pull the deb from the same source. Perhaps there's a problem. Try
downloading it directly and installing it with dpkg.
