module <- which option in the kernel???

[Gege]

Hi!

I just want to know how could I know, that what options I need in the kernel, if someone tells me, that a program needs xy.o -module??? Because from the module-name I can't discover, that what options I used to mark with an "M".

It will not be possible to answer this question if you don't give your full system description, the programs you want to run and what you want to use your system for. The question is like: what kind of car I should buy with what options.

Most people just try and learn.

Usually the kernel works if you select the standard options. Then you can check dmesg and see if all hardware is recognised. Later you can experiment with removing drivers to reduce kernel-size, if you want.

If I understand your question, you need help figuring out which option in the kernel will build a specific module.o file.
Easiest way I've found is to
