I just finished upgrading my kernel to 2.6.22.11.12 and I could not get
nvidia to load no matter what I did.  I tried depmod like before, and it
didn't work.  I then did:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx
$ sudo modprobe nvidia

to no avail.  Just to be sure, I tried depmod again, which resulted in
the same error as before.

I then booted into the 2.6.22.10 kernel and the nvidia module loaded fine, 
without the need for depmod:
$ uname -a
Linux atlas 2.6.22-10-386 #1 Wed Aug 22 07:43:24 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

$ lsmod | grep nv
nvidia               4714036  22
i2c_core               25104  1 nvidia
agpgart                33584  2 nvidia,intel_agp

$ dmesg | grep -i nvidia
[   53.241245] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
[   53.524608] NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 Kernel Module  1.0-9639  Mon Apr

$ dpkg -l nvidia-glx | grep ^ii
ii  nvidia-glx     1:1.0.9639+2.6.22.3-11.3 NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 
driver

So it seems that the nvidia-glx works properly for the -10 kernel, but
not the -11.
