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"
