Did you follow ALL the instructions to install?

There is no need to re-compile the module each time, just load it.

The needed line for after the first comiple:
insmod pctel.o

Usually you can put that command in the last script run by your distro (not mentioned). Lots use /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Not sure what distro you are using but the latest version of pctel is 0.9.6 and it works better on gcc 3.x distros. You can google for the download site.
