You can give the whole path to your module file to insmod. I'm not sure to properly answer your question though... > > I appreciate your help, > Tal > > _______________________________________________ > buildroot mailing list > buildroot at busybox.net > http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/buildroot Regards, Lionel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

If your out of tree driver is using the kernel build system, it should already be doing the depmod invocation. If it's not using the kernel build system, then you can invoke depmod manually, like the nvidia-driver package is doing in Buildroot: $(HOST_DIR)/sbin/depmod -a -b $(TARGET_DIR) $(LINUX_VERSION_PROBED) But really, to give you more details, we need to know which out of tree driver we're talking about, see how it has been packaged in Buildroot, and where it is installed in the root filesystem.
