Correct. A module compiled for the 2.4 kernel will not work in the 2.6 kernel. You'll have to compile a new module from source specifically for your kernel version to get this to work. If you are doing this and still getting a .o file, you'll want to contact the maintainers of the module and report this as a bug as 2.6 kernel modules have an extension ".ko." Once you have a module compiled as a .ko file, insert it the same way you did before with modprobe or insmod.
