hi list, just a small Q. what are the changes required for making a modular driver a built-in one??? Are the entry/exit points of a module ([init/cleanup]_module) called for a built-in one too? I think the answer wud be no....but i'm not too sure. What fxn.s are called for initialization for a built-in driver? TIA, -mandeep -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
