    Which Debian Package Contains Kernel .config File?

    Hello,

    I am trying to build a driver for my new wi-fi card but I need the .config file that was used to compile my kernel. I installed kernel 2.6.11 via apt-get as well as the kernel-source package, but after unzipping the kernel source that came with the package, there's no .config file (the wi-fi card driver code is requiring this). Is there another kernel-related debian package that provides the source with the .config file that was used to build the kernel?

    Is my question clear enough? Thanks.

    Check in /boot/ for a config* file, or see if there exists a /proc/config.gz

    Why don't you make your own kernel.

    Pre-compiled kernels have to much. If you use your own made kernel it would be faster also!
