There might be version mismatch, or other modules to load before this one.
This can also be a kernel configuration problem, related to modules that are
expected to be in-kernel.

Well, unless you have erased the booloader, I think you should still be able
to reflash the device using bootloader commands, even via xmodem if the
loader allows it.

I think you should have a look at this page [1], where there are ressources to
create custom rtl8181 firmwares.
