This is not comedi-specific in any way.

The standard linux kernel module naming convention was modulename.o for
<=2.4.x kernels and is modulename.ko for kernels >=2.6.x.
The standard directory for modprobe to look in is
 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/

See man modprobe or http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO/index.html
for more info.
