You can pick any example Makefile on my site, e.g.: http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/w83795/Makefile Change DRIVER := w83795 to DRIVER := asus_atk0110 put both files in a temporary directory, then type "make". You'll need make, gcc and configured kernel headers installed. When the build is successful, you can test the module as root with: # rmmod asus_atk0110 # insmod ./asus_atk0110.ko Hope that helps, -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
