I'm setting up Madwifi.
I need to set CONFIG_KMOD to be set to y or m and I can't find it in the kernal config menu.
I'm using "make xconfig"
Do set this in the gui or mannually in the config file.
If I have to manual set it. Where is this config file?

Thanks,
CWC

do not manually edit the config file.

Using xconfig, there is a search function - edit-find (or ctrl-f). The equivalent in menuconfig is "/"

CONFIG_KMOD was removed in v2.6.28-5693-ga327ca2. What are you reading that makes you think you need it?

oh yeah, forgot about that one.

Nowadays, it is assumed to be on - it's on by default.

Create you own local overlay

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Writing_Ebuilds#Easiest:_Updating_an_existing_ebuild


And add the madwifi-ng-0.9.4-r2.ebuild and all patches listed in that ebuild.

Then
Code:
ebuild madwifi-ng-0.9.4-r2.ebuild digest


And then emerge as usual.

I'll give it a try. This will take me a while. Thanks
