Comment 2 for bug 141133

Hi Scott, thanks for your reply... I was wondering how to compile that
driver in the ltsp chroot, but I've found that the ltsp chroot kernel
version is different (lower) than the server's, so I'm not sure how to do
it... I have already tried with just chroot into the ltsp image and make the
driver, but certainly it dind't worked (besides the difference between
kernel versions and that I have not created a dpkg for it - doesn't know how
to do it - )... In the tests that I've done with the live cd, I've manually
copied the compiled driver into
/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/e1000 and the modprobe the
module, but I wonder I'm missing something to get the driver included in the
kernel.

Can you please help me with some more information about compile the kernel
in the "ubuntu way" or in did, how to add that driver to the ltsp kernel
image? or at least point me to some where I can get more help...

Once again, thank you...
// Mauricio.
