You should not copy the kernel module (.ko) inside another kernel 
directory inside /lib/modules yourself. If it was not done automatically 
it means the kernel module you installed is not compatible with that 
kernel.

The question now is, why did it not symlink the kernel module in that 
location by itself ?

Is it possible you are not running an x86_64 kernel ?

Can you send us the output of

 	uname -mr

 	rpm -qa kernel\* | sort

 	find /lib/modules -name atl1c.ko -exec ls -ld {} \;

Thanks in advance,
