As an alternative:

  make KSRC=/path/to/kernel/src

However in most systems that source tree would be pointed from
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build , and this is wher eZaptel looks by

This may suggest that the tree agaist which you built is not configured

In a properly-set system, hotplug would load the drivers.
