/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build is the path you need when *building* 
external kernel modules, you dont want to install anything there.

The default install path for the kernel modules should be somewhere 
within /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/, but dunno what the recommended 
naming/placing within that is.

Sorry for not catching this earlier,
