I haven't been able to follow up with the latest compat-wireless due to
other commitments. I shall try compiling the latest compat on 2.6.30 as you
are doing. If you can compile the wireless-testing kernel, that would be of
great help.

[ath9k-devel] still cant compile new code

[Dmitri Seletski]

Hello Senthilkumar.

I am not sure what do you mean?
Is there some sort of experimental branch of kernel, that dedicated to
wireless testing of some kind?
Can i have a link please? Id be happy to compile it.

Regards
Dmitri

I believe I last tested compiling compat-wireless against 2.6.30
and addressed the issue you reported, will try to update it shortly
against today's wireless-testing.

[ath9k-devel] still cant compile new code

[Dmitri Seletski]

Hi guys.

I have used git to download code
Went into directory where code is.

wireless-testing # make
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
***
*** You have not yet configured your kernel!
*** (missing kernel config file ".config")
***
*** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or
*** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig").
***
make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
make[1]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2
make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by
`include/config/kernel.release'.  Stop.




ls /usr/src/linux/.config
/usr/src/linux/.config


So looks like it is failing there again. let me know when its fixed so i
could try again please

Regards
Dmitri

wireless-testing is a git tree based on Linus Torval's own git tree
for Linux development. It contains the entire kernel. On top of Linus'
stuff are the patches being queued up for the wireless subsystem for
the next kernel release, in this case right now for 2.6.32.

Compiling wireless-testing means compiling your own kernel. To compile
your own kernel you need to configure the kernel first. To do that you
can read the documentation on how to do that on README. A quick way
would be to cp your current kernel's .config to the
wireless-testing/.config and then run 'make menuconfig;' and exit.
That would then base your current kernel configuration based on your
distribution's kernel. The compile will take significantly long but
it'll be close to what your distribution has today. After you are done
configuring your kernel you run:

make
sudo make modules_install install

Now, the install target will only do the full job if your distribution
has an appropriate /sbin/installkernel. What I mean by doing a full
job I mean copying the kernel to /boot/ but also building the
initramfs for it, putting into /boot/ and updating your grub menu.lst
file. Fedora has an /sbin/installkernel file so you should be fine
with that. Ubuntu does't. I've sent a patch to add it but that patch
has been ignored. I'm attaching my /sbin/installkernel in case you
have Ubuntu.

compat-wireless exists to help you just compile the wireless subsystem
from wireless-testing, even on older kernels. I suspect its easier for
you to just use compat-wireless than building your own kernel from
wireless-testing if you've never done that before.

Anyway I've updated compat-wireless to reflect John's new updates on
wireless-testing. I've also added a new ./scripts/driver-select on
compat-wireless which lets you select the driver you want so you do
not have to compile all wireless drivers.

In your case you can run:

./scripts/driver-select ath9k

Run it with no arguments to get a list of supported stuff.

Origin remote URL:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git
git-describe for wireless-testing.git says: v2.6.31-rc5-30113-gf1aa58f
This is a bleeding edge compat-wireless release based on: master-2009-08-04
This is compat-release: master-2009-08-04-8-gd596eac

HelloLuis,
I am not using Ubuntu, in fact I am using Gentoo.
I have downloaded that kernel, compiled it and installed it.
Linux dimko 2.6.31-rc5-wl #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 5 03:12:10 IST 2009
x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Ihave installed ath9k as module from kernel(i guess there is no need to
download anything else, is there?)
I shall send another email with ongoing problem i have.
Regards
Dmitri
