Subject: [gentoo-user]  How to tie module name to Kernel CONFIG





Summary:

How can I tie a module name (tg3) to a kernel config line?



Details:

Usually its kind of obvious if you dig around in .config a bit, but

now always.



I find the module at /lib/modules/2.6.24*/:

../kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko



But I haven't been able to nail that to a kernel config line.



Searches inside menuconfig on TG3 turn up nothing.



grep -i tg3 of the .config file find nothing.  I'm pretty sure it

located between



  `# Protocols'

  (line 1139)



   and 



  `# Wireless'

  (line 1327)

  

I'm sure it could be different in different .config files but those

two section headings should be there... maybe not on those line

numbers.



It is a section that covers many of the network drivers



After scanning there I still am not sure where tg3 comes from or what

it is.
