The correct one is 3.2.0-4-amd64. The module ends up in /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/extra/, which I guess is the right place. >> so I guess "depmod `uname -r`" would be the right thing to do, which is the >> same as "depmod" by itself.

OK, so you need to use the kernel version from the "with-linux" option given to configure then? I have configured with --with-linux=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build so that happened to work for me.
