Not two seperate modules but write support is optional when building the NTFS
module.
According to the help files supplied with the kernel the write option must be
selected (enabled) at compile time or it will be read only.
When you select - NTFS file system support (read only) then the option for
NTFS write support (DANGEROUS) appears right below it.
But then it could be a trick! :)
