Hi Alan,

Nice to see the IRDA stuff making it. Slight problem though when
you specifically ask it *not* to be included in the kernel in any
form.

After compilation:

[root@harmony linux.ac]# make modules_install
cp: irda.o: No such file or directory
Installing modules under /lib/modules/2.1.131/net

Yep, it seems to think it should be trying to copy irda.o, which
naturally hasn't even been compiled.

Excerpt from "make modules" which shows it setting up
modules/NET_MODULES:

make -C irda modules
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux.ac/drivers/net/irda'
rm -f $TOPDIR/modules/IRDA_MODULES
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux.ac/drivers/net/irda'
rm -f $TOPDIR/modules/NET_MODULES
for i in irda; do \
echo `basename $i`.o >> $TOPDIR/modules/NET_MODULES; done
echo dummy.o eth16i.o >> $TOPDIR/modules/NET_MODULES

(dummy.o and eth16i.o are legit modules I requested).

Tris.
