Sounds like you've mashed your modules directory. A lot of the kernel 
compiling howto's forget to mention you need to move your existing 
/lib/modules/<kernel-version> out of the way when recompiling the same 
version with different options. Since you can't go back to the old one you 
might as well move the above directory out of the way and try make 
modules-install again. 

Either way have a look in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/drivers/net or 
similar for your network card's module then try "insmod driver.o" from in 
the directory.
