Re: kernel modules question

You can do it in the "classic" way i.e. go to the source directory, run make menconfig, make the necessary changes, and then run make modules && make modules_install. If you used makepkg and pacman to build and install your kernel, the disadvantage of the above method is that pacman will not know about your new module, and will therefore not remove if/when you ever remove the kernel.
