Is there anyway to compile only one driver module? Here's my situation:

My kernel already has support for the driver (sb1000.o) but I need to edit the driver source so it reads from the correct port. So, I've edited the file, and now need to compile it into a module. However, I don't want to go through all the wasted time of compiling a new kernel just so i can get the updated module. So, what do I need to do? Can I just run a "make modules" (or whatever the command is) without all the other mess? And would I need to do the "make config" as well? Thanks.

What I have done is the make menuconfig and then save the new kernel image, then make dep, then I go directly to the modules and then install it...

Don't know if there is an easier way. If there is I would like to know it myself. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
