kernel driver vs module

I selected bttv/bt878 to be compiled into the kernel... if I needed to enter something into the /etc/modules.conf would it still work as if it was compiled as a module instead?


The card I have is confirmed working, but I have to use
options bttv card=77 tuner=-1 in /etc/modules.conf

But since I am not using a module, I am not sure if this would work. My card is not auto detected properly, and shows card=0 instead of =77 which it is supposed to be.

Found my answers. Options are appended to the boot configuration instead.
