Sorry I didn't finish :-) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
after putting the right config options in place, as modules, exit |
| 16 |
menuconfig and execute the following |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
make modules && make modules_install |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
and for good measure: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
depmod -a |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
it should then work without even a reboot. |
