Hi, re recompiling the kernel / changing/adding modules: Can you compile an individual module and link/load it into the kernel without recompiling the kernel? For example, if you have a custom kernel compiled with networking enabled, and a module for one ethernet card compiled and working, can you compile a module for a different ethernet card and link it to the kernel? You'd have to add it into the /etc/modutils/aliases file I guess (and run update-modules). But would it be necessary to recompile the kernel? Thanks in advance for any insight... --terry Geoff Shang wrote: -=> On Tue, 23 Jan 2001, Holmes, Steve wrote: -=> -=> > When speakup is reapplied (CVS) does that mean I have to recompile the -=> > kernel all over again?
