As Guido said, please provide more details.

Loading the kernel module on the host makes it available to the containers.
However, you may need to create device nodes in the container, may need to
provide access through the devices cgroup, may need to add permission in
the apparmor or selinux profile, and in some cases may need to pass in a
socket or something.
