Hello,
Here I was playing with some new driver for kernel, which doesn't go with
kernel (even 2.0.35 i downloaded, and that's eep10pci for Intel Express
PCI cards (10mbit)) I could add it to kernel by hand just fine. (compile
as anobject with either -DMODULE, or without it, and then either add to
list of object files, when assembling kernel, or just insmod (if module),
But how would I do it so next time if I do make config, I could turn
on/off this driver there? so far I ajusted .config, drivers/net-> makefile
but still when I do make depend, make modules, or make depend, make
zImage, the driver doesn't get compiled in.

I wonder if there is a manual/paper/document to read regarding the kernel
compilation procedure. (i.g. where all it takes what drivers should be
compiled and so on.., what files should be ajusted to add new one.. )I
tried to figure it out myself by reading makefiles, but all things are
abit fuzzy, so I just get confused at the end..
