Sorry, if I wasn't clear about the problem: The modprobe fails due to some unresolved symbols or something similar (sorry, I have the machine not here so I cannot boot and write down the exact missing symbols, drivers name, etc. ATM). Therefore the driver as such could not be loaded. If I have to guess then I would guess that the kernel package (Debian-Sarge-current) wasn't correctly build (for whatever reason). But I know next to nothing about Debian and Debian packages/packaging .....
