I guess this is quite normal. You propably have compiled the driver 
module w/o module versioning support. This can cause this error.

The above error doesn't mean necessarily anything bad. Just change the 
insmod line to correct the path. I was just concerned that the module 
lays in your home. If you want "make it right" , you could recompile 
the module. With some drivers i had that too. With 
DEFINES=     -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -D__KERNEL__ -DNDEBUG
the problem was cured. 

Hope that helps
