> Hi, > Suppose I have a network driver, mynetdrv.c . I compile this and and make mynetdrv.o . I insmod this and check that it is fine. Now, how do I integrate it with the kernel binaries, so that evey time the kernel starts up, it should automatically start this driver also? I think there is difference in the procedure for different types of network drivers, say eth, plip etc. Do I have to modify any file in linux/drivers/net directory? Does the Space.c file should be modified?And what should I? Any other file needs to be modified? And finally I have to compile this new kernel and make a new image, correct? > > thanks, > > suresh. First read http://www.kernelnewbies.org/documents/kdoc/kernel-hacking/submitting.html Also read: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches and in the same directory SubmittingDrivers and CodingStyle. I'm not sure what you need to do network-specific though. Bahadir -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
