kernel module

[Luca]

You are right. My module has been compiled into the kernel though.
But when the kernel starts I do not see it registered.

This is what I did
1)saved my module .c file in drivers/crypto/
2)edited drivers/kernel/Makefile adding obj-$(CONFIG_CRYPTO_MYMODULE) +=
mymodule.o
3)edited the drivers/crypto/Kconfig adding
 config CRYPTO_MYMODULE
 tristate "My module test"
 help
   Enable to test it

4)make menuconfig => setting my module to be built into the kernel

Thank you,
 Luca
