i compiled Linux kernel with all drivers as built-in (all network drivers also compiled as built-in). all things work but ping time goes irregular (10ms , 90ms, ...). is it from built-in mode in compilation or problem is from another thing?
A:
It shouldn't change a thing. Irregular timeouts usually come from either faulty drivers (but whether you have them built-in or loaded dynamically shouldn't change anything) or faulty network.

i mean that because all drivers are in kernel maybe some other driver dos some mistakes.

Whether drivers are built-in or loaded dynamically, if the error comes from another driver, you'll be affected either way. Loading driver dynamically does not isolate them from built-in drivers in any way.
