Yes it is thank you... modprobe being a cleverer version of insmod from 
what I gather.

To clarify here is what I want to do:

a) Recompile the module's source with my modifications (I can do this bit).

b) Install my newly compiled source in such a way that:

c) I can load it as a module in place of whatever Fedora loaded for me.

I think I need to read some more about modprobe and modinfo ... as it's 
a module I won't need to recompile my kernel but I don't know where 
"modprobe" finds the modules from you see. This is obviously a vast area 
and I know pitifully little about it.

Thanks for the help,

Steve O
