Gurol, Several things to check. Make sure that you have installed you kernel and kernel modules properly. modprobe looks for modules by kernel version. You can try 'insmod streams-xyz' instead of modprobe to see if it is a kernel installation problem or not. If you get a version error from 'insmod' try 'insmod -f streams-xyz'.
