If your problem is to load the module due to unresolved symbols,
a simple compilation of the module would be enough. 

By reading your mail I get the impression that you don't 
want to compile. If that is the case for you I
suggest to use binary RPMs as much as possible, install them.
Install and compile the kernel source. 

Then simply install the appropriate module.
And hopefully all will be fine now...
