Subjectcompiling modules later, after changing the configuration of the kernel
Today I decided that I needed the ethertap driver, so I ran make menuconfig
on my current kernel, and added ethertap as a module.

I then ran make modules ; make modules install ; depmod -a ; modprobe
ethertap, and lo, this worked. The ethertap doesn't however.

Now, I was wondering, is this supposed to work, retroactively changing the
configuration of your kernel, and creating new modules?

It works for a lot of modules, is it guaranteed to work?

Regards,

bert hubert
