Description Vytautas 2009-05-02 14:50:42 UTC

ls /lib/modules/2.6.28-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/net.wireless/*_cs.ko
Genkernel made them.

How they are different from normal ones (without _cs)?
Where is kernel configuration options to compile (or not compile) them?
In other words kernel configuration and modules documentation is not clear enough at this point.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

The _cs ones are for PCMCIA ("Card Services") hardware variants.

root@grubbs-int:/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless # grep _cs Makefile 
obj-$(CONFIG_PCMCIA_NETWAVE)	+= netwave_cs.o
obj-$(CONFIG_PCMCIA_WAVELAN)	+= wavelan_cs.o
obj-$(CONFIG_AIRO_CS)		+= airo_cs.o airo.o
obj-$(CONFIG_PCMCIA_ATMEL)      += atmel_cs.o
obj-$(CONFIG_PCMCIA_RAYCS)	+= ray_cs.o
obj-$(CONFIG_PCMCIA_WL3501)	+= wl3501_cs.o

This is not a bug. Bugzilla is not a support forum. Lack of documentation for the kernel is not genkernel's fault.
