Static Driver Loading Issue
To load the driver at boot time I added my driver name in /etc/modules.
Next I copied the driver to /lib/modules/2.6.34.12/kernel/drivers/char/. But when I reboot the machine the drriver does not get loaded. What am I missing and how to load the driver at boot time? |

What do you mean by "static driver"? Most kernel modules are not static; they are loadable. Static drivers are compiled into kernel.

Murphy I meant the same.
I want my driver to load at boot time and for that we will have to compile it in kernel. How to do this? |

It may ask to change kernel parameters for compilation... what driver are you trying to install? I still wonder if you understand this time - If static, that means you will have to compile - not your driver - but a new kernel...
therefore it will no more be a module but more a kernel builtin. It will be built in the new kernel. |
