    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Once you install the source, you need to build the module. You will need the kernel-devel package for your system first. Once you have built the module, it creates a file with a .ko extension. That you need to load into the system with either insmod or modprob programs. That you'll have to do as root. Are you running RHEL, or CentOS? They both have Wikis and FAQ's on their sites how to do this - build a kernel module and install the module into the system.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
    Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
