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.
That's not really a kernel issue... however, since I have
that configuration (both drivers modular) at home, I
know it works :)
You probably haven't selected NET_PCI, which is the
entry described by
"EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers"
The drivers you want depend on the above entry being selected.
