In my Fedora 20 the kernel config are thus: # USB Network Adapters CONFIG_USB_USBNET=m CONFIG_USB_NET_AX8817X=m CONFIG_USB_NET_AX88179_178A=m CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER=m CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_EEM=m CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_NCM=m CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM=m CONFIG_USB_NET_DM9601=m CONFIG_USB_NET_SMSC75XX=m and so it is possible to make just the kernel module, without rebuilding the entire kernel (much faster). http://developer.sonymobile.com/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/ http://tthtlc.wordpress.com/2011/12/29/how-to-write-a-kernel-module-on-android-sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-s/ and there are many others who added functionalities via kernel module as well: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/secure-your-device-with-a-knock-code-using-xposed/ http://www.xda-developers.com/android/handle-your-kernel-level-wake-gestures-with-xposed/ http://www.xda-developers.com/android/full-ntfs-readwrite-support-for-android/ http://www.xda-developers.com/android/cpu-governor-kernel-module-io-scheduler-and-dual-core-tweaks-for-your-newly-flashed-device/ and to play around with kernel module see: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/change-your-ko-files-on-the-fly-with-module-loader/ Thanking you. > > -- > -- > unsubscribe: android-kernel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Android Linux Kernel Development" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to android-kernel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Regards, Peter Teoh -- -- unsubscribe: android-kernel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Linux Kernel Development" group.
