That's usually a non-trivial task and for some of them (wifi drivers) you can find the device on ebay to be able to test your changes. good luck! greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
