Anders, Thanks! I just referred the README.SUSE file and I didn't see that particular section. My SuSE kernel version is 2.6.5-7.39 (SLES9.0).

Hi,
If I try to build any of my drivers (e100,e1000,bcm5700,vlan) in SuSE9, I am seeing the message "unsupported module, tainting kernel".
But this is not creating any other problem. I want to know why is this message coming?
I thought I saw some reference after that message telling one where to find out more info... Anyway, it seems like it's not there... Try this:
The "unsupported module" tag is a SUSE extension, it isn't in the kernel.org kernel. Even GPL modules can be "tainted" in this scheme. The place to read more about it is in /usr/src/linux/README.SUSE (you'll need the kernel sources installed) Section "SUPPORTED VS: UNSUPPORTED MODULES" -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com Confidentiality Notice The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
