insmod itself is "dumb" and does not check any dependencies.

Others have reported that their systems do indeed have this, so it would appear that you may have some local configuration error.
As a side note, you may not need 8390.o if you have a strange setup in which one 8390 based driver is built-in and you then want to load another driver as a module for a second (different brand) card.
