Is there a way to single step through a module. I am currently studying
3c59x.c on a system with a 3Com chip. I can compile it, insmod it, rmmod it
and all of that. Unfortuately, I am a little naive when it comes to running
gdb. I can run ddd on a program, but I really dont know how to attach to a
module that has been insmod'ed and trace through its execution.
