This is how I did it for a BroadCom Gigabit NIC module in Debian:

In the directory where you compiled the module type "make install".  This 
should put the module in  
/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/moduletype/mymodule.o

Than edit /etc/modules and add mymodule in there. Reboot and it should load.

Hope it helps.
