To get your card up, you need to find out what IS the appropriate module, not
was it isn't. Then with a couple of commands you should be able to get it
working.
Use lspci (as root) to hear about the kind of PCI devices you have installed.

depmod generates modules.dep for the running kernel, BUT something is messed
up, since by definition only the modules on the running kernel are of any
interest.
Run uname -r to find out the current kernel version that is running.
What were you doing with modprobe when you saw these errors?
I would download the latest kernel rpm and update to that.

download those guys and
rpm -Uvf kernel*

Something is screwed with your system and the kernel modules. Do an lsmod
before you do anything else after boot, you should see ext3 and jbd are the
first two entries. if not then this problem is related to your other module
problems, since in redhat ext3 support is a module.

No, ext3 module should be loaded pretty much the first thing after the kernel
is running.
