Subject: "mac80211.ko" and "cfg80211.ko" compatibility issue.
Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:56:53 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <509B73D5.5000206@mac.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I have a problem with the compat-wireless. It seems "mac80211.ko" and
"cfg80211.ko" are not compatible with the ones in main line kernel. In
my case, it is kernel 3.4.9(Fedora 16).

I want to use  compat-wireless version of "mac80211.ko" and
"cfg80211.ko" for Realtek rtl8723ae but for other wireless cards, I want
to use main line kernel version of "mac80211.ko" and "cfg80211.ko".

This switch should happen at the boot time since I need to support a lot
of PCs with the single kernel.

Can someone tell me where the "modprobe rtl8723ae (and for other PCI
devices)" get called when I run the kernel on the PC with rtl8723
wireless card? I searched the entire scripts under /etc but I could not
find.

What is the right thing to do? I appreciate your advise.
