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,
Bon soir Jean,
Thank you for your suggestions!
I'll install the new disk and dummy system tomorrow morning and then try your recipe.
I'll report the results or return with some more questions.
Joris
