| |
gmodconfig is a tool to manage Linux kernel modules. It features a GNOME graphic interface which enables users to: - configure kernel modules parameters in their native language and save settings to /etc/modules.conf - access modules informations (author, license, link to website) - check for new modules versions - download, build and install modules packaged for DKMS
Some of this data is not found in modinfo's output and has to be supplied to gmodconfig in XML files. A companion tool to gmodconfig called gmodconfigedit can help module authors create and update those XML files.
For details please visit: http://gmodconfig.sourceforge.net/
This tool can help inexperienced Linux users to configure modules (as is sometimes required with consumer devices like webcams) without having to learn about /etc/modules.conf, and install or upgrade modules with the click of a mouse, thanks to DKMS. Experienced users might find it helpful, too.
It still has some rough edges and I welcome feedback from the community. Please Cc me your comments as I'm not subscribed to linux-kernel.
Thanks, Cyril Bortolato
