run a
	depmod -ae
to build the modules.{dep,usbmap} (see the man pages) and try again.
But if you've got a different kernel chances are that modprobe will
refuse to load them (or depmod shows unresolved symbols).

You may find help with compiling the sources on your machine
here in the list, _if_ you post enough information.

If you became a member of the list, you'd help me saving time on
manually approving posts from non-members.
