Then what? Normally you would edit the config and do make modules, and it would compile all the modules selected in the config. How do you compile ONE module? I'm looking for a command like: make module [module name] or even directly with: gcc [options: this is a kernel module- compile it for the running kernel] module.c Preferably without doing anything with the config. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
