In that make.conf file the line is commented out: #NO_MODULES= true # do not build modules with the kernel But the question for me is still, how did this work in 4.7 if the above was commented out in my /etc/make.conf file and I did not have these uncommented in my kernel config file when I built my custom kernel for 4.7? options IPFILTER options IPFILTER_LOG Thanks, Jim
