[RndTbl] New kenel modules without reboot?

I would like to compile a driver module from the standard linux kernel
source (2.6.x in this case) and then load it into the kernel without
rebooting.

I know this must be possible but my understanding of the details of
kernel module loading are limited.

Is it just a matter of selecting the drivers as modules, compiling,
doing "make modules_install", and then modprobe to load the module?

Where I'm confused is with updating the module dependencies etc.

Thanks.

John
