I think this is a 2.4.*  kernel vs. 2.6.* kernel thing - the .ko suffix is
used with 2.6.*  kernel modules. Also AFAIK you don't use the suffix when
doing a modprobe / insmod.

Someone please correct me if that's wrong ;)

The page I linked (the Monash one) is quite old. I just found some of the
hints there helpful.
