do I have to rebuilt the kernel to enable AX25?
 

I'm trying to rebuild a kernel (2.4.25) for RedHat 9.0 to include
support for AX25.
I have many problems so far like Sound card not working, network not
working,
errors for loading modules etc.
I was wondering whether I can enable AX25 support for the without
having to rebuild
the kernel. Can it be done by only using modules?
Is there a how-to for this?

thanks,

Andreas

Hi Andreas..

Modules generally speaking are part of the kernel build. You need
"hooks" in the kernel itself to talk to modules. (AFAIK)

I suggest you get the sources that go with your current kernel and check
to see if AX25 has been enabled. For a while there I think only SuSE had
it included by default. (Maybe 5 years ago) Have a look at the default
..config file for Y/N/M answers. Your distro should have documented what
the comfiguration answers were.

Also keep in mind that if you are manually loading modules there maybe
dependencies to be satisfied. ie you have to modprobe or insmod
something else before another.

Sorry this wasnt kuch help.
