Does it make any difference to use the ".ko" extension, to
call it by absolute path, or to use "-v" for more information,
per The Friendly Manual?

Certainly no expert.  Wondering tho, as I don't know if
the kernel maintains a list of "new" objects if they've been
recently added.  Hate to ask if you've done a reboot :-)

Also, for curiosity, `file /boot/kernel/smbfs.ko`?
