To load the new shiny drivers either reboot or just modprobe the module you want. The kernel build system is unable to handle spaces in the module tree's directory and will fail if there is any.Īfter build and installation unload modules and drivers: sudo make unload Note: Modern tar selects decompressor automatically (otherwise add "–bzip2" or "-j").Īlso, please unpack it to a path that does not contain space. If you do not have them, read your distribution's documentation on getting help.Īfter downloading, unpack the source by typing (as example: version 2.6.32-rc5): tar -xf /path/to/compat-wireless-2.6.2 Ensure /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/ exists and points to the location where the kernel headers are installed. You need kernel headers to compile compat-wireless.

Here are the list of stable releases of compat-wireless. We provide the vanilla releases for those Linux distributions which just want vanilla for whatever reason. Linux distributions are encouraged to use the extra flagged releases as well. The -s flag for example indicates that the release has patches marked as stable which will be released by the next 2.6.x.y release of the kernel so you might as well get them now. Users are encouraged to use the -spn releases as these releases will have extra fixes not yet propagated. Release with no extra flags are simply vanilla releases of the kernel.
