Y means compile it into the kernel, so the code is always there. M means compile it as a module (driver) so you can add / remove the code as necessary. you can add modules that you want to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.X where x is the minor version number (4, 6) and the kernel will automatically load the module. The other way to do this is to
modprobe <modulename>
if you only need the code every so often.
Or put it in /etc/modprobe.conf to load it on-demand, automatically, as needed. E.g.: alias eth0 sun-hme Don't forget to run depmod -ae after editing that file.
