Which is the default folder for modules being built?


using make menuconfig, i made RTC as a module and i built the kernel.
i am using kernel 2.6.9-22.
when i install NIST net(network simulator) it expects the RTC module in /proc/modules.
when i do 'ls' i could see that 'modules' is not a directory, its just a file.

How can i find the RTC module?

The base for the kernel modules is /lib/modules/`uname -r`.

/proc/modules is a list of kernel modules.
