thanks for your response.

it turned out, that the config was ok. i copied it
from /boot/config-$(uname -r), as told in the howto.

the problem was a different one:
during compilation, there was a warning about a missing Module.symvers
file and ignored it because the howto clearly stated, that it should be
ignored. anyway, later on, i found a proper Module.symvers
in /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r), so i made a symlink from the
linux sources to it and then i compiled the module again. then it loaded
fine.
