Have you tried to load the module yet? It may have been installed a part
of another package.

If the module is missing, you can try the following to find out whether
it has been packaged and is available from one of the repositories in
your sources.list:

% sudo aptitude install apt-file
% sudo apt-file update
% apt-file search tp_smapi.ko

PS: Did you notice that comment about top-posting at all? You have even
quoted it, see below.
