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?
From the file README.SuSE in the kernel documentation <quote> SUPPORTED VS. UNSUPPORTED MODULES As an extension to the mainline kernel, modules can be tagged as supported (directly by SUSE, or indirectly by a third party) or unsupported. Modules which are known to be flakey or for which SUSE does not have the necessary expertise are marked as unsupported. Modules for which SUSE has third-party support agreements are marked as externally supported. Modules for which SUSE provides direct support are marked as supported. </quote> If you want the warnings to go away, you can do echo "2" > /proc/sys/kernel/unsupported
