If CONFIG_MODULE in kernel config (<kernel>/.config) is not set to 'y', the kernel will not be able to provide the dynamic loadable module feature (by insmod or modprobe). You may check this by getting the config setting of the kernel by 'adb pull /etc/config.gz' from the running kernel. After retrieving config.gz, decompress it, and check to see if the setting of CONFIG_MODULE is commented out. If so, you will need to recompile the kernel with CONFIG_MODULE=y set in the .config file.
