I am out of ideas.

I have Ubuntu 13.04 as the OS and the kernel version is 3.11.0-rc7 which I
compiled myself.

sanmukh at sanmukh-laptop:/config/usb_gadget/g1/strings$ insmod --version
kmod version 9

sanmukh at sanmukh-laptop:/config/usb_gadget/g1/strings$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 13.04
Release:    13.04
Codename:    raring


Thanks,
Sanmukh
