Thats a strange Failure.
Did you follow the HOWTO exactly?
which kernel did you run when you configured/compiled the atmeldriver?
(the 2.4.19 ???)

You can either try to boot your 2.4.19 kernel and load the module from 
/lib/modules/2.4.21-4-686/kernel/drivers/usb/ with modprobe  or you can 
try a insmod -f usbvnetr ( this will force insmod to load the module in 
the kernel but i think it wont work)
