They are. I haven't found any documentation explaining that modules are not=
 compiled when kernel is, but after crashing (and having my first core unde=
r NEtBSD :-)) when modloading any module, I understood one have to recompil=

Why isn't there a build.sh target to recompile modules (and not the whole u=
serland) ?
