1:compiling modules and 2:activating ethernet lan

[Billy R. Nordyke Sr.]

I'd very much appreciate if any one would detail how to compile modules.  I know it's a basic procedure but can't figure out  how.  I'm trying to get the joystick going in RedHat 6.1 and have updated the kernel to 2.2.14-6.0.1. I've found the various files that need to be compiled but don't know the procedure.   Also I need help on activating the ethernet lan. I've got 3 computers with win98 and linux dualbooted on each and connected with an ethernet lan that works with win98.   Thanks in advance.   Bill   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
