Re: [Ilugc] How to compile module
Hi ashish , they are the object files which were linked into the kernel module file(.ko), you need not worry about them , they should actually be gone if you run 'make clean' also for more info refer to LDD 3rd edition (Linux Device Drivers) , it is all explained there , .. .you should be able to find free versions of the book in PDF format on the web , ..

Re: [Ilugc] How to compile module
Hi Santosh, The problem was in the make file. I had put pcnet32.c instead of .o. The module has now been compiled. Now I got 4 files pcnet32.ko - I placed in /lib/modules/2.6.25.14/kernel/drivers/net What should I do with the rest. What are these for? I found similar file types in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.25.14/(different folders) pcnet32.mod.c pcnet32.mod.o pcnet32.o Regards Ashish On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 12:39 PM, Santosh wrote: > Ashish Verma wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I dont know why this is not working for me.

Why is it that pcnet32.c did not get compiled when the kernel was compiled? or when the modules were compiled? Regards, Ashish I din't have the look at the latest menuconfig of the kernel. But, generally the module gets compiledf only when you select the appropriate option. All the modules won't be compiled by default. Another problem I can assume is that, pcnet32 must have been written only to be built internally into the kernel and not as a module.

If so then, it is not necessary to download headers. If not, you have to download the headers and write a makefile. The makefile is very simple. obj-m += all: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules clean: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean Then make modulename There is no specific directory to place your source, just compeile it and later you can insert.
