I'm attempting to develop a PCI FDDI driver. I'm running kernel 2.0.35. I have CONFIG_FDDI turned on in my kernel Makefile. However, I've noticed that there are at least two symbols that aren't properly exported (fddi_setup and fddi_type_trans). I've had to manually add them to the netsyms.c file. I am trying to develop this driver as a loadable module. Is that why I'm having to do this (or am I missing some basic concept here)? I've noticed there's very little FDDI support from the driver side, and the one I did see was not a loadable module.
