The new image is considerably bigger than the old one (12 MB vs. 5.7 MB) which puzzles me, as the driver file itself is 2.8 MB (compared to the old e1000e.ko with ca 170 KB) [...]
Just wondering... can you safely strip modules like you would strip executables?
Don't know. Admittedly I don't even know what stripping is...[reading in Wikipedia]...now having some half-knowledge...
`strip e1000e.ko` results in a 148K file (compared to the 2.8MB original). I'll try to put this one into the initrd.ing tomorrow.
Thanks
