+ <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.
