printk's in both init and cleanup functions , but the /proc entry
doesn't seem to be created ...

Have a look at LDD3, it's more uptodate, and explains how things work
in the 2.6.x kernels. Are you working with 2.6 or 2.4 kernels ?

If you're working with 2.6, rename your init_module() and
cleanup_module() to something else, and use the module_init() and
module_exit() macros, for example:
static int my_init_module(void)
{
...
}
static void my_exit_module(void)
{
...
}
module_init(my_init_module);
module_exit(my_exit_module);
See http://lwn.net/Articles/21817/ for more details.
Sincerly,
Thomas
