I'd be interested in doing the same for the acx100 module, or preferably the cleaned up and softmac based tiacx module from here : http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/linville/ But the files, especially the included Makefile, are meant for the module to be built at the same time as the kernel. The usual "make -C /lib/modules.../build -M `pwd`" doesn't work, and I'm really not familiar enough with makefiles, nor with the special makefile kernel magic to understand how to adapt this : acx-common-y := wlan.o ioctl.o common.o acx-usb-y := usb.o acx-pci-y := pci.o obj-$(CONFIG_ACX_PCI) += acx-common.o acx-pci.o obj-$(CONFIG_ACX_USB) += acx-common.o acx-usb.o If anyone knows what needs to be changed to get both modules built, please let me know. Too bad this modules hasn't made it into 2.6.18 :-( Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ Fedora Core release 5.92 (FC6 Test3) - Linux kernel 2.6.18-1.2726.fc6 Load : 0.64 0.45 0.33 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
