Module compiling

How can I compile an individual module from the kernel source tree?

Re: Module compiling

Go into the directory in the kernel source for the module you want to build. There should be a Makefile there. then execute

make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.5 SUBDIRS=$PWD modules

You need to have permissions to read/write from the source directory.
