/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net empty?

[Warg]

there is only a dummy.o

I have followed the installation manual. What have I missed?

Thanks

I think there should not be any modules showing up in that directory unless you compiled some net drivers as modules. In the 'make menuconfig' step, did you select 'Y' (compile into kernel) for your net drivers, or 'M' (compile as module)?

You can check in your config file, should be in /usr/src/linux/ and called .conf (If I remember correctly...). If the module that you are looking for is e1000.o, for instance, you could try something like grep -e 'e1000' .conf, and see how you compiled it.

If it's in the kernel, you don't need to load it as a module.
