You use the "modprobe" 1945 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here, 1946 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by 1947 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most 1948 useful for infrequently used options which are not required 1949 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for 1950 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod. 1951 1952 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make 1953 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/ 1954 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do 1955 this). 1956 1957 If unsure, say Y. 1958 1959if MODULES 1960 1961config MODULE_FORCE_LOAD 1962 bool "Forced module loading" 1963 default n 1964 help 1965 Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe 1966 --force).

This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users. 1985 If unsure, say N. 1986 1987config MODVERSIONS 1988 bool "Module versioning support" 1989 help 1990 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel. 1991 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules 1992 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information 1993 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would 1994 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.
