If you're looking for the sources of any modules, go get them from the source rpm/tarball where they are provided. If it's not part of the kernel, you unpack the sources and build them. Why should a module that is part of the core kernel, but wasn't enabled, be any different? You unpack the kernel sources and build whatever modules you might be interested in. Sure having the kernel sources already available enables you to save this step, but you can't count on the kernel sources being available anyway. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
