<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Well, first of all you'll need to make
sure the module in question<br>
actually works with the kernel version you are trying to build it
against.<br>
Kernel APIs do have a tendency to change.<br>
<br>
As for technicalities, you may be better off with compiling it out
of tree.<br>
1. configure the kernel tree<br>
2. Put the module in a separate directory<br>
3. Create a proper Makefile in that directory<br>
4. Go there, and run<br>
make -C /path/to/linux/tree M=`pwd`<br>
<br>
Or, alternatively, just use the newer kernel in general, if it is
at all possible.<br>

<div>Hi<br>
<br>
</div>
i am cross compiling modules for kernel 3.6.9 for an
arm embedded board<br>
</div>
<div>(comes with kernel but no modules).<br>
</div>
however, i need a driver for 8188eu, which does not
come with this kernel.<br>
<br>
</div>
i downloaded a new kernel tree with 8188eu driver. it is
not 3.6.9 so it will not insmod if i compile it directly
(what file holds the kernel version ?)<br>
<br>
</div>
i copied the subdir from kernel tree 2 to kernel tree 1,
however do not know how to configure the kernel to compile
it<br>
</div>
adding 'CONFIG_RTL8188EU=m' to .config and 'make modules'
does not do it<br>
<br>
</div>
how do i do that ?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
