Please refer to the Linux distributions section for more details. Linux distributions packaging compat-wireless For Debian systems do: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Note #2: If you got no network connection automatically, try to restart your network.

Note that the make install command will output this for you so you can just look at that. lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ath9k/ath9k.ko $ for i in $modules do sudo modprobe -l $i done
Compat Wireless 3.6.8 1 Snpc Tar Bz2 drivers#
To test whether or not the new drivers are being picked up you can use modprobe -l on the modules, you should see the wireless modules being picked up using the updates/ directory instead of the kernel/ directory. To load the new shiny drivers either reboot or just modprobe the module you want. The kernel build system is unable to handle spaces in the module tree's directory and will fail if there is any.Īfter build and installation unload modules and drivers: sudo make unload Note: Modern tar selects decompressor automatically (otherwise add "–bzip2" or "-j").Īlso, please unpack it to a path that does not contain space. If you do not have them, read your distribution's documentation on getting help.Īfter downloading, unpack the source by typing (as example: version 2.6.32-rc5): tar -xf /path/to/compat-wireless-2.6.2 Ensure /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/ exists and points to the location where the kernel headers are installed. You need kernel headers to compile compat-wireless. We recommend these the following userspace applications to be installed: This will be the last release under the name of compat-wireless and hosted here, for future releases, as of v3.7 releases, visit: Therefore to add functionality, you should select a version that is later than your kernel version.

NOTE: Please be aware that the releases below contain code from the given version of the Linux kernel. Here are the list of stable releases of compat-wireless.
We provide the vanilla releases for those Linux distributions which just want vanilla for whatever reason. Linux distributions are encouraged to use the extra flagged releases as well. The -s flag for example indicates that the release has patches marked as stable which will be released by the next 2.6.x.y release of the kernel so you might as well get them now. Users are encouraged to use the -spn releases as these releases will have extra fixes not yet propagated. Release with no extra flags are simply vanilla releases of the kernel.
Wireless vendors are encouraged to use these releases for support purposes as no extra tree needs to be created and supported. These stable releases are intended for users looking for more stability than what bleeding edge daily compat-wireless releases provide. This started with the announcement of work for 2.6.30-rc series and will continue for all stable kernels releases.

Our goal is to support stable releases on kernels at least as old as the oldest supported kernel listed on, today that is 2.6.27 but we have done work to support even older kernels and each driver may also have additional work to support even older kernelslĪs of today every stable version should be compatible with every kernel >= 2.6.26, like the bleeding edge releases. These releases are based on stable kernel versions. This page is dedicated to the stable kernel compat-wireless releases. This page will only host information for the old stable releases up to the v3.6 releases. This project compat-wireless has been renamed compat-drivers and new documentation information will be based on the following page as of the v3.7 releases: Linux distributions packaging compat-wireless.
