adding USB support to 2.6.0


Hiya, I've just compiled my first working 2.6.0 kernel, and everything seems to be in working order, except for USB support.

lsmod shows the ehci_hcd is loaded as a module, but I think I need the uhci module instead. According to make menuconfig uhci isn't compiled. (It just didn't carry over from my 2.4.23 config file I guess.) So now I want to compile in the uhci hcd. Does this mean I need to add it using make menuconfig and then go through the whole process of make, make modules? Or can I just compile a single module and load that on boot?

Thanks in advance.

hi ^^
I guess so ...
when your at it you can compile it in (not as module) since you need it anyway...
and while your at it throw out all the stuff you don't need...
which makes the hole process of compiling a lot faster ^^

EHCI is for USB 2.0 support, compile your kernel with OHCI or UHCI.

I think you can get away with just 'make modules && make modules_install'.

Thumbs up

It's working now, seems it doesn't need a full recompile then. Good, I'll do that when I know more about what I want to compile into the kernel, add as module, or leave out altogether.

Thanks.
