Adding a module to a kernel

Hi, I'm using the kernel which is shipped with Arch Linux. At the moment the latest 2.6.6 kernel.
All I miss is the module i810_audio, but I won't build a kernel on my own. (*)
Is there a possibility only to create the module i810_audio and add it to my existing kernel, or load it at startup?

(*) I tried it today.. But the result was bad. I had eepro100 in it, but my network doesn't work.
With the standard ArchKernel I have all I want - only i810_audio is missing.

Thank you for your help.

Re: Adding a module to a kernel

Hi J!
All alsa things is here www.alsa-project.org
but are you really sure that it's not included in arch kernel..hm..
if it's not it's easy to compile it yourself and add it to /etc/rc.conf ,see manual and wiki pages
and your network,is it working or not?
If it's not search the web and then add driver to /etc/modprobe.conf ,see manual also
Auf Wiedersehen oder bis gleich


arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

i810_audio is an oss module, not an alsa module.

EDIT: if you want the alsa sound module, you're probably looking for snd-intel8x0 i believe.

Re: Adding a module to a kernel

Sorry, looks like there is little way of compiling just the sound module. Quoted from Documentation/sound/oss/README.modules in the kernel source tree:

Note that it is no longer necessary or possible to configure sound in the
drivers/sound dir. Now one simply configures and makes one's kernel and
modules in the usual way.

And is looks like OSS is not compile into the arch kenrel any more.

[wdemoss@FRISCO kernel]$ grep SOUND_PRIME .config
# CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is not set

So you can use alsa or recompile your own kernel.

What does it need, that I can use the alsa module?

Re: Adding a module to a kernel

I could "modprobe snd-i8x0" and play soundfiles - but the only thing I heard was *krschhhhhhhhhhhhh* :sad:

I don't know if they are the same or not, but I thought snd-intel8x0 was the appropriate module.
