The problem is that insmod need the path and the file name, or needs
to be run in the directory containing the module, and the full file
name. (usb_serial.ko) In most cases, you are better off using
modprobe instead - it only needs the module name, and will take care
of loading any other modules the module you are trying to load needs.
It is like the difference between using rpm to install a package, or
using yum to install it.
