I normally don't build kernels in-tree, rather I use a build tree, e.g. % cd % mkdir /tmp/kernel_build % make O=/tmp/kernel_build % make O=/tmp/kernel_build uImage I can't see how to use this setup with the compat-wireless package. I tried [all the combinations I could think of] something like this: % cd % make KLIB= KLIB_BUILD=/tmp/kernel_build However, this seems to not work as all I get are errors like this: /local/compat-wireless-2012-02-28/config.mk:242: "WARNING: CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT will be deactivated or not working because kernel was compiled with CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=n. Tools using wext interface like iwconfig will not work. To activate it build your kernel e.g. with CONFIG_LIBIPW=m." Does this process work in my workflow? What do I need to do to get it going?
