Hi, 

Hi, i know this advice comes late, but I was having a similar problem and 
found this post.  I had no idea what compat meant.

Here is what I found use sudo to perfrom modprobe on Debian 9.

sudo apt-get install kmod

then 

sudo modprobe -h

Usage:
    modprobe [options] [-i] [-b] modulename
    modprobe [options] -a [-i] [-b] modulename [modulename...]
    modprobe [options] -r [-i] modulename
    modprobe [options] -r -a [-i] modulename [modulename...]
    modprobe [options] -c
    modprobe [options] --dump-modversions filename
Management Options:
    -a, --all                   Consider every non-argument to
                                be a module name to be inserted
                                or removed (-r)
    -r, --remove                Remove modules instead of inserting
        --remove-dependencies   Also remove modules depending on it
    -R, --resolve-alias         Only lookup and print alias and exit
        --first-time            Fail if module already inserted or removed

    -b, --use-blacklist         Apply blacklist to resolved alias.
    -f, --force                 Force module insertion or removal.
                                implies --force-modversions and
                                --force-vermagic
        --force-modversion      Ignore module's version
        --force-vermagic        Ignore module's version magic
