Sound like same issue which is with kernel modules in general. Is the 
module should be compiled against the same kernel which will load the 
module. So the question is: is the module compiled against the same 
kernel which is in your 770 (the default 770 kernel unless you have 
replaced it with your own)?

You can find the kernel sources from maemo website with little digging 
which you can use for compiling the module.

Another possible cause could be that the kernel module is not compiled 
for ARM, which could happen as user mistake or if the kernel module 
described above is delivered as a binary (just trying to take in account 
every possible reason)... 100% sure the module is for ARM?
