Hi,

There is a mismatch between the documented options and the options that
are supported by insmod when running on a 2.6-kernel...

/tmp # cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.8.1 (damm at kubu.opensource.se) (gcc version 2.95.3

Usage: insmod [OPTION]... MODULE [symbol=value]...
 
Loads the specified kernel modules into the kernel.
 
Options:
        -f      Force module to load into the wrong kernel version.
        -k      Make module autoclean-able.
        -v      verbose output
        -L      Lock to prevent simultaneous loads of a module
        -o NAME Set internal module name to NAME
        -x      do not export externs
