Hi Murali, Building an ARM 'allmodconfig' kernel now runs into two separate problems from your driver: - you have two module_init() instances in one module, which conflict. - you have two files that are linked into more than one module, so building both TI_CPSW and TI_KEYSTONE_NETCP in the same kernel fails. The answer to both of these is probably to have separate loadable modules, but you might be able to come up with a different solution. Arnd
