I need to port some network driver module from other distribution to Ubuntu 10.04.

I've downloaded Ubuntu kernel with git and rebuilt it. Then I've added sources
of module to ubuntu-lucid-src/drivers/net/my_gbe folder.

I've added the following entry to ubuntu-lucid-src/drivers/net/Kconfig file:

config MY_GBE
tristate "My Gigabit Ethernet"
select MII
---help---
This is an gigabit ethernet driver for xxx.


I've added the following line to ubuntu-lucid-src/drivers/net/Makefile file:

obj-$(CONFIG_MY_GBE) += my_gbe/

I also configured to build it as separate module via make xconfig command.

Now when I rebuild kernel with "make j 2 bzImage" command, the object files
(.o) are created for all .c file as well as new built-in.o file.
However no my_gbe.ko kernel object file is created as I expected.

Can anyone explain what I did wrong?

Thanks.

What card is it a driver for?

Does it rely on a firmware file?

Post the my_gbe.c file.

Thank you for response.

What do you exactly mean "rely on a firmware file"? Could you clarify?

If you would post the c file and answer the first question, I will.

1. This driver is for the card which is under development and doesn't have any name yet. The driver based on the Realtek driver sources.

2. I can't post any code here.

What distribution?

Why?

From Fedora 11.

I can't post this code here, because I got it from other company and sign agreement and so on ....

Kind of hard without looking at the code.

I also notice today that if I run the following command, then ko file is created:

make drivers/net/my_gbe/my_gbe.ko

The above command also triggered rebuilding all other modules and this is strange.

I probably did some mistake while adding the module sources to kernel.

Any advice?
