Here's what dmesg shows from the last boot. To my uneducated eyes, it
looks like the module loaded, but when I checked /etc/modules it
wasn't in there:

Thanks for trying- I appreciate it. I've looked in all the directories
and files in /etc that have to do with modules, but except
for /etc/modules, I don't know where else to put it. I'd know what to
do in Slackware. Any Debian folks out there?
