Hello,
AFAIK, modconf does not yet work with 2.6 kernels (with .ko suffix for
kernel module filename) well, so i've attempted to patch it.
The lame results of that attempt *should* be attached to this mail
(buggy evolution doesn't show me attachments i'm sending) :).
Generally, i've simply grepped for ".o" and changed it to a variable
which has a value of ".o" or ".ko" depending on the kernel version.
Don't know if that's a side effect of my patch or not, but somewhy i no
longer see some captions for categories. ;]
i hope this patch (or this patch patched again) will be included in the
upcoming versions of modconf, so that people don't get scared as i was,
when they try 2.6 for a first time.
Finally, i'm not subscribed to this list, so, please, CC: all the
answers (if any) to this post to me. Thanks.
regards,
RQ
