Hi Neil

Try modinfo on the module. I guess that you didn't get any errors during 
the build ? Also look in dmesg after the insmod. If you could post the 
full error that may help. It's possible it's not an error from insmod 
but from the module itself.

I have a development FC3 box here so I could try building a binary for 
you if all else fails.

Cheers
Paul
