Thanks -- yes, I already have config.txt configured correctly, with: 
"dtoverlay=dht11,gpiopin=24".  There are no mentions of the overlay (or
the string "dht" in the kernel log.

But you did send me off to do more searching.

I've been assuming that I want to use the kernel driver for the DHT
devices, which would require the modules I'm looking for.  I'm an old OS
guy, and in general a kernel driver will be more efficient and/or more
reliable than a user level driver.

But it seems that many folks aren't happy (at all) with the quality of
the current linux driver, and that user-level access to the gpio may
actually work better.  There are a couple of ways to do this -- with
either python code, from Adafruit, among others, or with C code, using
an example provided with the pigpio library.

I'll give one of those methods a shot.   (Though I'm still curious as to
where to find the dht and industrialio modules, if anyone knows.
