OK. How did you go about doing the steps ???. Was the module already
loaded before you started? You can check this using lsmod.If the
module is already present you can use rmmod to remove the module.
If the module was not present first, you would have created the
device using mknod and then loaded the driver using insmod. After you
did insmod check using lsmod that the module is loaded.Try any ppp
client to check if the driver works.
If everything works fine you can add the commands to the rc.local
script to load the module at boot time.
Hope this helps.
