I never tried it, but if you got an appropriate kernel config for your running kernel you could start by "make modules && make modules_install" (regarding 2.4.x series) This only works of course if - - you just miss the module file - - it is _not_ build into the kernel - - and your kernel is prepared to load that feature through a module Good luck, Florian - -- Public PGP key is available on common key servers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Debian - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAvlDzwT2gPfZm6tURAi53AJ49iNNxVbwpHYvnKDj95T3XcW8PTgCeI4oJ o+djvtT7/l+eAfDttdl4JvQ= =OXnQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
