 |
|
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.
