The kernel version number in the compat-wireless release is the version the code is from. So compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc1-3-s is based on the source code from kernel version 2.6.39-rc1, it should compile and work with every kernel from 2.6.24 to 2.6.39. You could build your own version based on the latest version of linux-next. It is described at: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/hacking I created a self made version with the lasted fixes for compat-wireless and and mwifiex at: http://hauke-m.de/fileadmin/openwrt/compat-wireless-2011-03-31-1.tar.bz2 > /home/bzhao/git-10.80.114.125/mwifiex-devel/compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc1-3-s/config.mk:204: "WARNING: CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT will be deactivated or not working because kernel was compiled with CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=n. Tools using wext interface like iwconfig will not work. To activate it build your kernel e.g. with CONFIG_LIBIPW=m." This just says that the wext interface will not work, because your kernel was compiled with CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=n, if you do not need wext just ignore it otherwise compile your kernel with CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT enabled. > /home/bzhao/git-10.80.114.125/mwifiex-devel/compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc1-3-s/net/wireless/util.c: In function 'cfg80211_change_iface': > /home/bzhao/git-10.80.114.125/mwifiex-devel/compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc1-3-s/net/wireless/util.c:799: error: implicit declaration of function 'br_port_exists' > make[3]: *** [/home/bzhao/git-10.80.114.125/mwifiex-devel/compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc1-3-s/net/wireless/util.o] Error 1 > make[2]: *** [/home/bzhao/git-10.80.114.125/mwifiex-devel/compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc1-3-s/net/wireless] Error 2 > make[1]: *** [_module_/home/bzhao/git-10.80.114.125/mwifiex-devel/compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc1-3-s] Error 2 > make: *** [modules] Error 2 This is a bug which will be fixed in the next release. ;-) Build your own compat-wireless version from git, wait till tomorrow or use my version at this will be fixed.
