[olug] Can't get usbnet module to load with modprobe

[Sam Tetherow]

you need to give the fully qualified path for insmod 'insmod 
/lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/.../usbnet.ko'
modprobe requires just the module name, 'modprobe usbnet' and is the 
preferred method since it loads all dependancies as well.  If modprobe 
gripes about not being able to find usbnet then you need to run depmod 
then modprobe
