Well if it is compiled in, it is not a module, so you cannot find it the usual way. >I thought that I >can find them in the kernel's machting System.map based on vendor >-and device id as well. But I can't find those id's there. Where do >I have to look for it ?

There might be PCI devices which have the same PID:VID, but need a readb() or so for further finding out whether the actual piece of hardware has a driver. And then there is that sort of modules which do not have typical IDs (i.e. udev cannot/won't autoload them) at all, like pcspkr.ko/psmouse.ko - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
