This depends somewhat on how you acquired the module. If you have some module sources you can usually do something like this: gcc -fno-pic -mno-abicalls -Wall -I/usr/src/linux/include -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DLINUX -c module.c This will create a module.o file that you can insmod/modprobe. Some modules are shipped as patches against kernel sources. In this case you'd need to make sure that you have the kernel sources installed then do something like: cd /path/to/linux/ patch < patchfile.patch then rebuild your kernel :) Seriously, let me know what form your module sources are in and I can give better instructions.
