Re: Backports not building configured drivers

[Marlon Smith <marlon.smith10@gmail.com>]

Thanks everyone for the replies.  The setting I was missing in the
kernel was that I need to have PCI enabled.  I'm not sure why the
backports menuconfig said PCI [=y], since it was not enabled in the
kernel, but once I enabled it backports built the wifi driver
correctly.

Thanks again for the help!
