I always have to issue a "depmod -a" after make install. You can check if the new modules are used afterwards with "modinfo modname[without .ko]" and check the given path. It should contain "updates". Sometimes, it is necessary for me to insert a "depmod -a" even before make install, because of missing files, which are needed by the installation and which are created by depmod -a.
