This is a kernel module, so modifying the Asterisk configuration will 
not affect it at all.

If the printk() function is being used, then the output is being sent to 
the kernel log, and captured by klogd (or whatever equivalent you have 
on your machine). There may be #ifdef wrappers around the printk() 
function calls, though, if that is the case you'll need to recompile 
with the appropriate value defined in the Makefile so that the module 
will actually generate the log output.
