Hi All, My question is directed at those with kernel compiling experience.
I have a driver source xxxxx.c file and a Makefile with it. I want to recompile the kernel to include the driver and rebuild the initrd.img. Where do I copy the file in the kernel sources? I currently have it in a sub folder of the drivers directory in the kernel source folder. There is one more question if I may, it does not have a xxxx.h (header file) do I need it? The driver does compile perfectly without it. But I am not sure if I need to compile it into the kernel?
