I'm trying to set up a home server (NAT, firewall, DHCP, DNS, rsync, distfiles via http-replicator, Web, FTP). Being stuck behind dial-up, I bought a hardware modem. It's based on the Intel 536EP chipset. It didn't have a box, so I can't tell you who the manufacturer is.

Firstly, I don't want module support in this kernel (I'm paranoid), but unless I compile in module support, the drivers won't build. Can the resultant modules be integrated into the kernel somehow?

Secondly, when I do recompile my kernel to load modules, the emerge just stops without throwing an error (to the screen, it displayed an error when I redirected the output to a file):
Code:

All right, I've recompiled my kernel to support loading and unloading of modules, but I still get the same error. Here's a cleaner version of last time, as I've finally got SSH up and running:

Code:

Apparently it needs me to create a make target called "modules." How can I do this?

As I didn't plan on making modules in the first place, I never ran "make modules" when building my kernel. Just a little tip for anyone who needs it...
