Re: Compiling error

Thank you Hauke. I do have CONFIG_MODULES in my .config

CONFIG_MODULES=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD is not set
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD=y


I am trying to get TI wireless driver working. According to their 
software release note, the latest supported version is 3.12.
