I'm lost

OK, sorry if I'm being thick. I checked into the kernel-package tools
that Steven suggested. but no dice. Here is the problem.

I just picked up an EVDO card from Sasktel. It works by using the
usbserial module. Unfortunately, the stock version has a limited buffer
size so I need to recreate that module with some patches. Here are the
steps I've followed, can anybody tell me what I'm missing?

1. patch the usb-serial.c in the kernel source tree file with the proper
patch
2. copy the config from /boot/ into .config at the source tree
3. make modules
4. copy the usbserial.ko into the running kernel's module tree
5. modprobe usbserial vendor=0xc88 product=0x17da maxSize=2048

The module fails to load with these dmesg messages:
