Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules

Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

- Normally when you have selected some parts of the kernel to
- be created as kernel modules, you must load them (using the
- "modprobe" command) before you can use them. If you say Y

- runs modprobe with the appropriate arguments, thereby
- loading the module if it is available. If unsure, say Y.
