...Where's the module I need?
And this is all that's in /etc/modules...
lp
rtc
udev has not created any devices nodes for DVB & V4L:
jed@jed-desktop:/var/log$ ls -l /dev/dvb
ls: cannot access /dev/dvb: No such file or directory
jed@jed-desktop:/var/log$ ls -l /dev/v4l
ls: cannot access /dev/v4l: No such file or directory
I can't see anything relating to 7162 devices here:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?cmd=file;file=linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner;filenode=-1;style=raw
Perhaps the module for 7162 devices is not in the main source tree yet?
Admittedly I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for!
I've got a copy of various logs from /var/log, many extraneous, but just
trying to cover all bases, lemme know & I can send!
Any advice/help greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jed

Actually I just realised...
I think when the system reboots it will only load the modules it needs
from /lib/modules/[kernel version]/kernel/drivers/media...
It won't load everything in that directory into the kernel/memory right?
So the only reason one might want to use "make menuconfig"; is to
prevent irrelevant compiled modules ending up in...
/lib/modules/[kernel version]/kernel/drivers/media
Feel free to correct if this understanding is wrong.

I installed _all_ dvb-v4l modules after compiling latest source
because at the time I couldn't use "make menuconfig" (didn't have
ncurses installed)
Is there a way I can retrospectively remove some compiled/installed
modules so that I'm only using the ones I need?
I only need modules associated with:
