Hi, I have and old Linux system built from scratch based on kernel 2.6.24 and I need to add support on it for an Atheros ethernet card that doesnt have driver for kernel 2.6.24. Unfortunately we can't update the kernel because my client has a control hardware that only have binary e propertery driver for 2.6.24. Because of that, I'm trying to use compat-drivers to do that. What I did so far was: Downloaded compat-drivers-3.8.3-2-snpu and extraceted it. Compiled it using: ./scripts/driver-select alx make make install After rebooting, I loaded the compat driver with: modprobe compat I can see the following on dmesg: Compat-drivers backport release: compat-drivers-v3.8.3-2-snpu Backport based on linux-stable.git v3.8.3 compat.git: linux-stable.git Nothing more. And no eth yet. What I am missing?
