Hi. I'm the lead developer for Astlinux. We're doing a kernel bump from 2.6.26.8 to 2.6.27.26, and wanted to take the opportunity to start using compat-wireless at the same time, because we need (amongst other things) better mac80211/cfg80211/nl80211 and AP-mode for the Ath5k chipset (AR5413, et al). The README included in the tarball (compat-wireless-2.6.30.tar.bz2) discusses building replacement drivers on the same system and placing them into updates/. I'd like to cross-compile this on a system and replace the drivers that have been deposited by the plain-vanilla kernel build. Also, a list of what CONFIG_xxx symbols I need to turn off to ensure that there is no "residue" left over from the kernel build to interfere with the compat-wireless build would be helpful (or alternatively, what's the bare essential list of CONFIG_xxx symbols that need to be enabled to "hook" compat-wireless into an existing kernel). Looking at the Makefiles, it doesn't seem that cross-compilation is ready out-of-the-box: MADWIFI=$(shell $(MODPROBE) -l ath_pci) OLD_IWL=$(shell $(MODPROBE) -l iwl4965) Please reply to me directly (or even on Cc). I tried to join the list a couple of weeks ago, but my request hasn't yet been processed.
