What kind of output do you get when you do a modprobe -v?
Also, you might want to do a modprobe --show-depends on the module to
see what kind of dependencies it had. Note that this may provide an
empty list, which is possibly alright.
Another thing you can do is a modinfo on the module to see what is known
about it.
