This is interesting.  The fact that you do not mention arm tells me your
version of busybox is out of date.  Which version of busybox are you using?
Any reason not to upgrade to the latest?

Right now, busybox insmod only supports a very limited set of platforms (x86,
sh, and arm).  To solve this, you have two choices.  You can either add MIPS
support to busybox insmod, or you can disable busybox insmod (by editing
Config.h) and use the modutils version of insmod instead.
