Subject: 8139cp/too support not accessible?
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:02:13 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4850C9F5.8000104@gmail.com> (raw)

Hey List,

I will admit right off the bat that I'm new to interacting directly with 
the kernel, much less building one.

The issue I'm having is that my ethernet card requires either the 8139cp 
or 8139too module. I don't remember which one, so I want to modularize 
them both. Problem is, using $make xconfig; I can't select it. I have 
the interface set to show me all the options, but the modules I need are 
grayed out and I can't change the value.

Using $make config; It doesn't show them, even if I say Y to "Prompt for 
development and/or incomplete code/drivers"

Is there a way to manually select those drivers for modularization, or 
am I just missing a step somewhere?

Thank you.
