/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc - shouldn't this be a directory?

[Ben Lancaster]

Hey,

I can't seem to install the standalone imon_vfd drivers from http:// 
venky.ws:

# make install
depmod
/usr/bin/install imon_vfd.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc

Following that:
# modprobe imon_vfd
FATAL: Module imon_vfd not found.

By my logic, shouldn't the install process have effectively copied  
the imon_vfd driver to a directory called misc within my running kernel?

Here's what stat says:

# stat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
   File: `/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp/misc'
   Size: 139196          Blocks: 280        IO Block: 4096   regular

It's an executable file! Is that right??

# yum list installed | grep kernel
kernel-smp.i686                          2.6.16-1.2122_FC5

kernel-smp-devel.i686                    2.6.16-1.2122_FC5

Thanks!
