Re: problems compiling kernel module

["Fernando Barsoba" <fbarsoba@hotmail.com>]

Thanks a lot for your makefile. It worked nicely. I wasn't sure if the 
question was too basic for this mailing list.

Thanks also for Arjan's reference to 
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt?v=linux-2.6.9

I am new in kernel programming...

tnx,
Fernando
