Well, .config does not show anything configured as module. It either shows y or not set. But I have set a lot of modules as M, for that matter the .config does not show up that RTL8139 is selected at all. Seems like whatever I select as module is neither selected as part of kernel nor in the modules. In the /lib/modules/2.4.12/kernel/drivers/net just see one module dummy.o and thats it. Infact whenever I run make modules_install, I see messages nothing to be done for modules_install as it enters various directories in the src tree. Its somewhere I'm making a blunder but cant figure it out.
