Re: [gentoo-user] eth0 = pcmcia + usb adapter

Strange it took almost a day before I could see my post!  Guess I was
"moderated"...

Hi Mick,
  Thanks for the reply.  I've gone through about 4 kernel recompiles,
each time wondering with question marks over my head, sure I had
everything compiled in...   I ended up adding pretty much anything
that would be related to "PCI", "USB", "PCMCIA", "SCSI"...  with the
exception of the modules specific to some hardware I clearly dont
have.

I kept a copy of my .config each time, so, I will be able to study
what I changed between the 3rd and 4th recompiles.

I have to say, it was my first adventure playing around with the
kernel, and I reached a high level of frustration, impatience but the
level of my greed kept being at the top and I'd say it simply changed
my life! =)

I just find "make menuconfig" a bit confusing when searching for
things...  a simple grep on Kconfigs is so much better sometimes:
`find /usr/src/linux/ -name "Kconfig" -exec grep {} -Hn -e "USB"`

Someone told it wasn't correct to edit the .config directly (most
probably because of depencies), but is it possible, at my own risk?

Thanks, Simon
