multiple dependent out-of-tree modules

[Jorgyano Bruno]

Hello guys!! Thanks for the answers!

You are right Vladmir, if I edit the Module.symvers file of the dependent
modues and put the symbols the it need, from the other module Module.symvers
file it works well.

I have tried modprobe with modules in kernel tree and works well, but I
could not do the same with out-of tree modules, I think that is just a
configuration issue of modprobe.
