[aclug-L] Re: Can't get desired modules to be included on kernel compile

[Nate Bargmann <n0nb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

By chance are there any compile command lines in the C source file for
the module?  Grep the file for gcc and see if that turns up anything.
Some of the filed contain the recommended command string in the source
comments. Additionally, were there any build instructions with the source?

The way the kernel build system works, the various config targets won't
know any thing about the new module until it gets incorporated into the
kernel tree.  So, you just need to build it by hand and then copy it to
your
/lib/modules/2.x.xx/whatever_this_module_belongs_in_most_likely_net_directory
then run modprobe on it.

HTH,
