R: R: tulip.o kernel module
i don't think you can build module(s) without building the kernel that will
use it/them.
i've always made my kernel a-la debian (with kernel-package) and never had
problems with modules.
the reason is (my opinion, please correct if i'm wrong) that kernel need to
know which modules it has to be prepared to support.
