You've just made the module. Now place a copy in the directory where your modules
are loaded and then do "modprobe -v dm9xs";note the results. If you are sucessful
you'll probably want to edit /etc/modules.conf (or in /etc/modules/ or elsewhere)
so that the module is loaded automaticly at boot time

Have you looked at the makefile? What does it say? I suspect you don't need to
do a "make mod" as you have in fact already compiled it. Makefiles are just scripts.
