    How do you compile a hardware module?

    I need some help on compiling.

    I am trying to install a usb isdn modem and after following succesfully various steps, next I need to do next what is described below in blue.

    The compilation combines two components: the source code delivered to implement
    the system and a binary, kernel-independent module in the "fritz/lib"
    directory.

    The hardware driver module (fXYZ.ko) itself can be compiled completely from
    the "src" subdirectory, two additional components are required to port the
    complete driver archive (consisting of the CAPI drivers, the CAPI tools and
    CAPI libraries each in their own rpm archives). These components have existed
    in the source code for quite some time now, but they are not part of the driver
    archive file (also because of their size).

    - The CAPI modules are part of the standard linux kernel. They can be generated
    with the standard kernel as long as the correct settings are made in the kernel
    configuration.


    But I don't understand. How do I compile the fXYZ.ko? Do I have to give ./configure in this src directory? And what do I need to do with those CAPI drivers, modules etc?

    Please help
Working...
