insmod-- newbie

I am trying to configure a dual parallel port after installation of SuSE 8.2. I am following instructions from the chip maker (MosNet). The important part is using insmod to modify the parport. But when I try to run "insmod parport.o" at root directory in bash I get the message "no such file or directory." I used the -v switch and it told me it was using parport.o. I then did the next command (something like "insmod parport_pc.o io... -v") command and it said "using parport_pc.o" and then "no such file or directory" Where can I get info on insmod? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
