Are you modules in your drivers path?  You can see man modules.conf or 
man modprobe to understand where to put them.  depmod will be ran on 
startup, so you should only have to put your modules in your path.  You 
could edit modules.conf and add another PATH line if you do not want to 
have to copy the files into the main modules/drivers path.  Those are 
just some suggestions.
