You can make a simple script which will check if the specific module exists for the kernel (most are in /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/ or a sub-folder thereof) on every reboot. For example, I just upgraded from 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 to 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5, my computer booted up ran a shell script the checked if the kernel module existed ( if [ -e "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/ndiswrapper.ko" ]; then ...) and built it when the check failed. That way you can keep the kernel up-to-date and not worry about having to recompile everything with upgrades. Just my two cents. -m -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
