I don't use localmodconfig to know its quirks, but as I understand it you |
| 13 |
should use it with a LiveCD which has *already* probed the card and loaded the |
| 14 |
module that you are interested in. You can check with lsmod that the module |
| 15 |
in question has been loaded. |

It goes without saying that it is safer if you have added/powered on the |
| 18 |
hardware before you boot with the LiveCD. |

Alternatively, use make xconfig or menuconfig and enable each kernel item in |
| 21 |
the list shown above the module that you are interested in. |
