There are two reasons why I will not be doing that:
(1) I thoroughly test everything I compile. There is no way
for me to test drivers for hardware I do not possess.
(2) BasicLinux is designed for old PCs. Providing drivers
for newer hardware is not a priority.

You will find that information in the kernel config (which
is available for every BasicLinux kernel and every Slackware
kernel). CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set.

Cheers,
Steven
