You should not do that, as the compat modules should be compiled against a correct config, as in a config that corresponds to how your kernel was built. >> You may also need to delete something from net/compat-2.6.28.c, but that >> will happen during the linking stage (much later). > > So, no need to modify compat-2.6.28.c? Does it automatically happen? You may or may not see any errors at the linker stage (the LD part in stage 2). If you get to that point without further error, then, well, count yourself lucky and just give "make install ; make unload; modprobe -v ar9170" a go. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
