I'm really in a fix. I'm hoping there are kernel experts here,
although my question must sound silly. In SUSE 10, there's a
directory (actually a symlink) /lib/modules/2.6.13-15.10-default/build
which points to /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15.10-obj/i386/default. In that
directory, there's a file called Module.symvers. Could anybody here
kindly tell me what this file is for and how I could have it in
(K)ubuntu?
A `dpkg -S Module.symvers` would have told you the answer.[0]
[0] linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386:
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386/Module.symvers
I saw this link http://lwn.net/Articles/81399/ regarding the external
module support but I still don't have a clear idea of what to do. I
seem to need this Module.symvers in order to compile a driver for a
Cisco VPN connection.
{,Edu,K,X}ubuntu kernel packages are produced using the `make-kpkg'
program from the `kernel-package' package.[1] For building
third-party modules, I think you can use `module-assistant'[2] to
simplify the process for you (allowing you too to manage custom
modules to be installed within the APT system.)
