First off, use depmod -ae and it will tell you what symbols you are
missing. 

My first guess is that you do not have ppp in your kernel and I think
the default zaptel is using ppp symbols. If you notice this via using
depmod -ae, you will have 2 options; 
1: enable ppp in your kernel as a module and just recompile the modules.
2: edit the makefile and comment out the ppp option and recompile.
