How to add a modem module to kernel ?

[MrAhmad]

Hi

I want to make my own Knopper

I just want to add a modem module (HSF driver http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads.html) and make some change KDE settings

I saw http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixRemasteringHowto and I think its very easy to make changes to KDE settings.


but how can I add my modem module to the kernel ? (should I just copy the *.o to /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/ ?

Thank you

No you cannot add it manually(as in copy and paste) you will have to go through the 'make-make install' process for the drivers in order for the module to be recognized by the kernel. Then you can insert the *.o files in the /etc/modules file so that the modules are loaded at boot.
