Just to be clear, Rick ... my experience compiling kernels (pretty much
limited to 2.0.36, 2.2.13, and 2.2.17 ... but I can't imagine 2.2.16 is
uniquely more flexible) is completely inconsistent with this prediction. I
find that NIC modules, the modules I use the most, survive only the tiniest
changes in the .config file. If I, for example, compile in new routing
features ... I pick this example only because I was actually fiddling with
it a lot some months ago ... the modules need to be recompiled to work.
