Hi every body
I got a driver for networking ( the c code) i want to add it to the kernel before compiling the kernel.

How to do it.
Is it enough to put the code in the directory src/linux-2.6.39/drivers/net and run the compilation procedure.

Or I have to declare somewhere the name, in order that menuconfig can find it??

thanks for help
