I have tried also do: modinfo hdlc but i did not get any info in return... Also I have tried : lsmod to check for hdlc module but I could not find it... I guess I am missing something to activate my new settings in the menuconfig. Is there a way to verify that my new settings active!! Does any body know about the HDLC modules loading in the 2.6.9. Please advise. And thank you all for your help.
