It was my understanding that 2.5.48 or so introduced a new module
format, with filenames traditionally ending in .ko, that require the use
of new module-init-tools to load the modules into a running kernel. I
suspect that you are using older, 2.4/2.5.47-, modutils.

Your distribution may have module-init-tools available for you to install
without thought; another alternative is to search ftp.kernel.org for
module-init-tools packages. I know they were in people/rusty/ at one
point but perhaps they've been moved to a more official location to
match their more official prominence.

Best of luck.
