Re: Kernel Modules




hi,

i'm battling with modules myself at the moment, but i already see the
light at the end of the tunnel...

my suggestion would be to compile a kernle that serves your needs. apt-get
install kernel-source/2.x.x and then basically you find the source under
/usr/src/ together with lots of documentation, also on modules.

if you want to keep the same kernel i'd look at /etc/modutils (that's
where you can configure your modules) also, the easiest way to load your
modules is either /sbin/modprobe or /sbin/modconf

/usr/doc/modutils will also give you some ideas on to how debian
configures and loads modules...

hope that gives you somewhere to start =)

best,

vester
