Subject: 'modprobe -l' usage in Makefile
Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2013 21:24:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5112C9FA.7040207@somethingshocking.com> (raw)

Hi,

I tried to use the compat-wireless backport to compile a newer rt2800pci
diver for my rt3290 device under wheezy (b4).

The Makefile is horribly broken due to the use of 'modprobe -l'
throughout, as are a number of the scripts in the scripts/.

Wheezy has moved to kmod, and uses a symlink from modprobe. kmod sees
'-l' as an invalid arguement.


-Graham
