Hi Raphael,
I have a good manual for kernel config.
I saved the website of 'Firas Khalil Khana' called 'dotslashlinux'
I can send it to you via mail.
Please tell me.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you here, but it seems like [1] might be of help,
providing you can access the details of your connected devices with `lspci` and
`lsusb`.
For example, if I wanted to set up my Ethernet card, I would run
$ `lspci | grep -i ethernet`
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2)
I218-V (rev 05)
and then use "Intel" (vendor) and "I218-V" (name) at [1] to find that I needed
to enable CONFIG_E1000E, CONFIG_ETHERNET, and CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_INTEL [2].

Generally a person installs from some sort of Linux bootable device, CD,
DVD, USB stick or something. If everything works as it should, the
easiest way I know to get a list of drivers, lspci -k should work. If
you want to narrow down to the drivers themselves, you can do it like this:
root@fireball / # lspci -k | grep driver
Kernel driver in use: pcieport
Kernel driver in use: pcieport
Kernel driver in use: pcieport
Kernel driver in use: ahci
Kernel driver in use: ohci-pci
Kernel driver in use: ehci-pci
Kernel driver in use: ohci-pci
Kernel driver in use: ehci-pci
Kernel driver in use: piix4_smbus
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel driver in use: ohci-pci
Kernel driver in use: pcieport
Kernel driver in use: ohci-pci
Kernel driver in use: ehci-pci
Kernel driver in use: k10temp
Kernel driver in use: fam15h_power
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd
Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel driver in use: dmfe
Kernel driver in use: ahci
root@fireball / #
At that point, you can use those names to search for the driver and
enable them. That's the way I've done it in the past and it gives you a
very high chance of a working kernel for all hardware. If you want to
see what each driver drives, just leave off the grep part.
Hope that helps.
Dale
