<refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
<command>insmod</command> is a trivial program to insert a module into
the kernel. Most users will want to use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>modprobe</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum> </citerefentry> instead, which is more clever
and can handle module dependencies.
</para>
<para>
Only the most general of error messages are reported: as the work of
trying to link the module is now done inside the kernel, the
<command>dmesg</command> usually gives more information about errors.
