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
