Hi All,
I want to compile the Linux kernel with TCP/IP stack as a module .
Can any one suggest me the way to do it ???

Thanks in advance
Sriram.

I don't believe this is possible. The drivers for various NIC's are
pre-compiled as modules, though, in most Linux distributions.

Visit the Kernel HOW-TO at www.kernel.org or www.linux.com.
Basically, you need to download the kernel sources and then run "make
xconfig" (if you have X installed) or "make menuconfig" (if you're running in
console mode) to setup the options. In your case you will want to pay
particular attention to the NETWORKING section.

Good Luck,
Dave

Sorry, the current version of linux kernel won't let TCP/IP being compiled as a module.
