Hello Deepak, 

Thank you for your response. Yes I realised that my message was worded
as though I couldn't find any .c files in the
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/ directory. But your reply made me
realise that what I really needed was a way to search all files in the
subdirectory for the probe function. And your grep syntax provided the perfect
solution.

Thanks
Gilbert

Hello Andi and Julia,

Thank you so much for your responses.

I need some help with moving forward in the tutorial.

I am at the "Make a driver change" step of the first patch tutorial. The tutorial made the look like finding the _main.c file of the driver and locating its probe function was quite easy.

I ran lsmod as instructed and picked e1000e. I used git grep e1000e -- '*Makefile' to search for its subdirectory in the kernel tree. This is where it got tricky for me, I thought I would find a .c file like e1000e.c or e1000e_main.c as was shown in the VM example(I'm using native Linux) but I can see in the subdirectory are .o files that I can't modify. And I don't what to do or how to find the probe function I'm supposed to modify

I tried the above process for a couple more names in the list returned by lsmod and it is the same issue.

Please advise

Thanks
Gilbert
