net modules missing

Obsidian_MH · Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2004 5:01 am Post subject: net modules missing

Alright, I finally got everything compiled on my 300MHz Pentium2 with 64MB of RAM...

With the exception of drivers and whatnot. None of the drivers are in the /lib/modules/<whatever> directory... only dummy.ko

What'd I do wrong? (I'm running 2.6.5, BTW)

I would check two things:

First, make sure you have the appropriate network drivers set to build as modules in your kernel config (should be an M if you used make menuconfig, a dot rather than a check if you used make xconfig). If they're set to be compiled into the kernel, they won't show up in /lib/modules, but should still work.

If the above is correct, make sure you ran make modules_install after make. This is necessary in order to put the compiled modules in /lib/modules.

Hope that helps.
