Compiling a driver, need assistance on kernel source configuration

Hello BBS.
I am compiling a module for the Asus PCE N53 wireless pci-e card. I have obtained the driver source, and followed the instructions, and have gotten to the point where I need assistance. The instructions requires the kernel source, i have successfully obtained and configured it using the Command line prompt, except for one feature. I need to enable the intel IPW2200 driver code in the kernel source for this driver. What procedure do I follow to enable it?

> I know in face value, that my request may seem odd. I just need to use the source of the kernel, not a new kernel... I have found that what I am requesting... will fix the problem, based on a Gentoo solution: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-93 … art-0.html. Needing to know how to configure the kernel source to enable the intel driver still stands. The source I am using is the latest arch kernel source.

RT5592 Linux Driver quick start
====================
Check tools:
====================
*Before install driver, please check already install compile tool and kernel source code
1>Install compile tool
$yum install gcc-c++
2>check kernel source code exists /usr/src/kernels/ "kernel name"
Download your kernel source code
*http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/
or
$yum install kernel-devel
====================
Build Instructions:
====================
1> $tar -jxvf DPO_GPL_RT5592STA_LinuxSTA_vx.x.x.x.tar.bz2
go to "DPO_GPL_RT5592STA_LinuxSTA_vx.x.x.x" directory.
2> In Makefile
set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX"
define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC
modify to meet your need.
3> In os/linux/config.mk
define the GCC and LD of the target machine
define the compiler flags CFLAGS
modify to meet your need.

Need to compile nvidia driver for a custom kernel [SOLVED]

I compiled a custom kernel following this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source
I can boot into it just fine. I now want to compile an nvidia driver for use with it and followed the steps on this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVI … tom_kernel
I run into a problem when makepkg trys to compile it. Here is the output:

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Hello,
I'm kind of a noob and am trying to get follow the directions from the Nvidia wiki on installing on a custom kernel. I'm trying to use the abs method to install on kernel26rt version 2.6.33rt. I followed directions exactly and am getting an error that I didn't find on any other posts. Can you please take a look? Here is my terminal:

Hi,
Based on your information, I suspect this is caused when you install or configure some programs. Thus if it didn't cause any issue, I would like to suggest you ignore it.

Need assistance for seeded element configuration in payroll for SA Legislation

Dear All,
I am implementing Oracle Fusion Global Payroll for SA Legislation. I referred workforce setup guide for Payroll and supplemental guide for HR and Payroll implementation of SA Legislation.
However, I am not able to figure out precise configurations needed for Transport Allowance calculation and feed its value to GOSI for further calculations.
Document 1567452.1 - Oracle Fusion HRMS (Saudi Arabia): HR Implementation and Functional Considerations
Document 1619159.1 - Oracle Fusion HRMS (Saudi Arabia): Payroll Implementation and Functional Considerations
Could anyone elaborate configuration needed to achieve below mentioned requirement? As per seeded configuration, system generates Fast Formula for calculation. But element and formula by itself does not achieve required functionality. I know there is additional configuration needed in system but not sure how to proceed ahead with it. I have completed all steps mentioned in above mentioned two documents and yet stuck with non-functioning element.
Basic Salary: 1000 SAR
Transport: 10% of Basic Salary (Based on Grade Eligibility)
I am specifically expediting functionality as below
1. Manage calculation value definition
2. Manage Component Group Rules (if applicable)
3. Attach % Grade Rate to value definition
Regards,

Hi,
As I mentioned earlier, I added the appropriate balances which are used to calculate Tax to Retro Elements and those Balances got updated with the delta amount but Tax was not updated. I want to know is there any process provided by Oracle using which Tax for those already paid amounts can be recalculated.
I calculated the Tax manually and using Adjust Balance form added ZA_TAX_BALANCE_ADJUSTMENT Element and given the difference tax amount in PAYE and Tax Input values and saved the form. The Tax got updated.
Tax_ASG_RUN - 15000
Tax_ASG_TAX_YTD - 153257.32 (Prev - 138257.32). When I run the IRP5 (Tax Certificate Process) the tax is also getting correctly on it.
But client wants Oracle to calculate the Tax for those retro amounts so thats the challenge.
Could you help me with this.
Thanks,
Sri

Need to update kernel or build driver

I just installed Oracle VM on my Dell Vostro 1400 notebook and found that the wired network driver does not work.
According to the Dell site I need a updated version of the tg3 driver. I downloaded the sources but the Oracle Server VM CD does not seem to have the GCC compiler. I even downloaded a pre-compiled RH ES 4.0 version of the driver, for the same kernel number version, but it does not load.
Anyone has pointers on how to compile modules for the Oracle VM kernel? Or where to get a updated kernel version?
Regards,
Luis

There is no way to bail out if your kernel does not support network interface or video card. I had similar problems, though with x64 drivers, and I have tried everything I have managed to Google out, to avail.
Simply, Oracle VM has to come out with new kernel version in a short time, to announce a roadmap (could not find one so far), and firmly stick to it.

Compiling nvidia driver for custom kernel

I have a Toshiba M200 tablet PC running Arch Linux (which I love, btw) and it's running fine, including the tablet.
There's an irritating bug with suspend-to-ram (suspend-to-disk doesn't work with the nvidia driver) where the tablet pen stops working after resume.
There's a patch slated to be in some future kernel, but I compiled my own with that patch included. It boots fine and all seems to be well with it.
However, I need to compile the nvidia driver for it, since the binary does not work. So I copy /var/abs/extra/nvidia and modify the PKGBUILD and nvidia.install files per the instructions on this wiki page, and run makepkg -i -c .
I get a big error message early on, saying
If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***
I've checked everything I can think of.
$ uname -r
2.6.25-tablet
ls -l /usr/src shows linux-2.6.25-tablet, and linux is a symlink to it. /lib/modules/2.6.25-tablet/build is also symlinked to the right kernel source tree.
So I'm out of ideas for why the nvidia makefile can't seem to find the kernel source.
Thanks in advance.

@klixon:
I think that may be the root of the trouble: I compiled the kernel on my desktop (C2D 2.8) rather than my wussy laptop (1.6 Centrino). It installed and ran fine and all that, but I only have the kernel source tree that was included in the package, not the one that really compiled the code. Would simply copying it suffice, or should I rebuild the kernel on my laptop? Also, the PKGBUILD is included below.
@shazeal:
I believe this is a subset of the problem I describe above?
The PKGBUILD, somewhat customized from the nvidia ABS. I don't think any of the changes are overly shocking.
I've tried dozens of different modifications of it now. The simplest one is just appending '-tablet' to pkgname and _kernver.

Reasonable to have compile kernel + source package?

Most modules require the kernel sources in order to compile, and I thought it would be nice to have the kernel sources used for the stock kernels available as a package. I know it's possible to use the abs or to download the kernel from kernel.org, but then you must go through the hassle of compiling the same kernel.
This isn't a big deal, just a nice kernel thing to have.
Any thoughts?

bardo wrote:Well, I don't use the provided PKGBUILD. The latest stable kernel is 2.6.11.11, our latest build is 2.6.11.10, at least in current. The last number increases as trivial fixes are inserted in the kernel tree, so they're not prone to vulnerabilities as other packages are. IMHO these shouldn't be treated as new releases, but as fixes, which is exactly what they are. Just like when someone releases a new build of a package. That's why the lesser minor was created, and why I think it should arrive faster than other packages in the stable repo.
This way I could get and compile my own source without discrepancies from the headers package, often needed by other packages. Otherwise, I should have a "stable" headers package and the latest full kernel sources providing kernel26. The source is not unstable by itself. It is what I do of it that makes it a risk. But this happens with many softwares, doesn't it?
What does that have to do with anything under discussion? We're talking about the kernel binary + kernel headers. If you compile your own kernel of a different version, then OF COURSE your headers will be different, unless you install the headers with your new kernel as the PKGBUILD does - if you compile a new kernel because you feel the release speed isn't fast enough, do you really thing a new kernel-headers package is going to release any faster?
using the default arch package, the kernel binary and headers are provided. If you want to compile your own kernel, fine, do that - just provide your own headers in that case - it's not hard.
bardo wrote:Another reason because I don't use that PKGBUILD is because abs doesn't work on my machine, but that's totally OT here
abs is a bash script... there's no possible way it could fail unless:
a) you don't have cvsup installed (abs will spit out a big fat error saying "install cvsup" if you don't)
b) you don't have a network connection
c) user error
hell, you don't need to use abs to build a package - "man makepkg"

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.

Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X.

I need GPIB Driver for Keithley 263 Calibrator/Source Meter using Labview. Can anybody help?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
on Keithley's website is explained :
"The Model 263 offers a more economical, more precise alternative to the Model 6430 or the Model 236 when used as a low-current source. It is used almost exclusively as a current calibrator."
This leads to Model 236.... A LabVIEW-driver is available @: http://search.ni.com/query.html?lk=1&col=alldocs&nh=500&rf=3&ql=&pw=595&qp=%2BContentType%3AInstrumentDriver+%2BIDNetManufacturer%3A%22Keithley%22&qt=&layout=IDNet
Maybe you have to "reconstruct" some parts - but it will help.

Intel 3945 driver needs hotplug firmware

I'm having some issues getting the Intel 3945 wifi adapter to become recognized by Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5.
It seems that the 802.11 and the driver are present however it seems to need a microcode piece as well. This is documented at:
[http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/|http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/]
Step 1 on the requirements listing is for the microcode.
The install docs say to look at /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent file to get the directory.
I just redid my installation and this file is still not present.
It also lists the steps to use the kernel source to come up with the directory.
So, make gconfig and take a look:
Device Drivers ->
Generic Driver Options ->
are present, however,
Hotplug firmware loading support
after that is not present. I saw some options for CPU hotplugging and memory hotplugging but the install docs are calling for this option which doesn't seem to be present.
So, what's the easiest way to get hotplugging support on this version of Linux? I've tried the Red Hat forums but everyone there says to just install the ucode to /lib/firmware and off you go.
thanks in advance,
alan

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/ipw3945d/
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/dkms-ipw3945/
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/ipw3945-firmware/
All of these kept giving 404 errors unless I chose the source option. Oh well. So I gave up and thought I'd just compile up the latest kernel and see if that would help.
I checked for the hotplug option and it still isn't there so I have no clue what Intel was talking about.
I did remember seeing another message about the ucode file having a different file name so I finally ran it down.
All you need to do is to find the firmware file and copy it so it reads:
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode
and then service network start and up she comes. I tried various permutations of strace -f trying to figure out the filename but never could come up with it. Oh well. Then it's:
add the following to modprobe.conf
options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1
and finally:
service NetworkManager restart
to get the little network icon on the upper right-hand side so I can get the easy wifi access point pick list.
Then I ran firefox and it connected to web pages.
Thanks for effort,

Kernel source support for Xperia L

Hi,
I'm an XDA forum member.
I'm have created this thread to inform you about the hiccups kernel devs are running into compiling prima module properly. Firstly, the prima source you've hosted on your git, don't compile with the 15.0.A.2.17 source. The wcnss driver in the kernel source needs to be patched to make the module even compile.
It's my sincerest request to include buildable prima sources in the kernel sources itself. If not possible, atleast give us some pointers on how to fix it.
By this kernel devs can target their efforts on other important things which otherwise would have been wasted on fixing and debugging the prima module.
Awaiting reply.

OEL5.5 Kernel source

Hello
I am very thankful for your support. Now I need a package kernel-2.6.18-194.el5.src.rpm for install R1soft hotcopy disk cloning software.Could you please suggest me the link from which I can download.Thanks in advance...

How about http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/EnterpriseLinux/EL5/5/base/x86_64/kernel-2.6.18-194.el5.src.rpm
Building the kernel from scratch will be more complex then simply installing the source rpm. You will need instructions if you are not familiar with the task.
Do you really need to recompile the kernel, or do you just need to compile a kernel driver module, in which case you might just need the kernel-devel package

2.4.31 kernel source / .config

Hi,
Please forgive me if this is posted somewhere.
I need to build that pesky new e1000 module from Intel and I can't find the
2.4.31 .config for zfd 4.0.1 ir7 anywhere.
Does anyone know where I can find it? I dont have a lot of time to spend
on this, but I also don't want to replace this kernel with my own.
Thanks,
-Brian

I read it in another thread IIRC.. you don't really need the config files..

Ok, so I have gotten my boot disk to work following the process below,
which is kind of a sampling of other peoples stuff out there, which I hope
to give credit for when I'm all done here.....
I have not tested the PXE boot, only the bootcd.iso
Download the 2.4.22 Linux Kernel
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...2.4.22.tar.bz2
unpack the Source
tar xvfj linux-2.4.22.tar.bz2
enter the directory created
cd linux-2.4.22
Download the 2.4.22-ac4 patch.
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...le/alan/linux-
2.4/2.4.22/patch-2.4.22-ac4.bz2
Uncompress the patch
bunzip2 patch-2.4.22-ac4.bz2
Download the Novell ZENworks Kernel Patch
wget http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/...dimgkrnlpatch-
2.4.18-4.0-p1.tgz
Unpack the file
tar xvfz zfdimgkrnlpatch-2.4.18-4.0-p1.tgz
Change the Kernel version
sed 's/2.4.18/2.4.22/' <zenpatch-2.4.18-4.0-p1.patch > zenpatch-
2.4.22.patch
Apply the Patches
patch -p0 < zenpatch-2.4.22.patch
patch -p1 < patch-2.4.22-ac4
Configure the Kernel
make menuconfig
I went in and did the following
Processor Type and Features ->
No to Math Emulation
SCSI Support ->
SCSI low-level drivers->
Yes to SATA Support
USB Support ->
---USB Human Interface Devices (HID)
Yes to USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
Yes to HID input Layer Support (NEW)
Exit and Save the configuration
Run the following
make clean ***Note Novell Recommends this***
make dep
make bzImage ***Note Case does matter on the I***
make modules
make modules_install
Get the ZENDist package
wget http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/...ist-4.0-p1.tgz
tar zxvf zendist-4.0-p1.tgz
cd /usr/src/build
../buildImages.s
Copy the 2.4.22 kernel and modules over to our build area....
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/arch/i386/boot/bzImage bootdisk/firstdisk/kernel
cp -r /lib/modules/2.4.22-ac4 bootdisk/thirddisk/lib/modules
Remove old stuff
rm -rf bootdisk/thirddisk/lib/modules/2.4.18
../buildImages.s
Copy the BroadCom Driver from the Forge site into
the /build/bootdisk/thirddisk/lib/modules/2.4.22-ac4/kernel/drivers/net
directory and then redo the
../buildImages.s
This will add-in the BroadCom drivers for the GX280 computer.
***NOTE*** I had to run the GX280 SATA drive in Compatability mode in the
BIOS, otherwise the drive did not show under the img dump ******
I should also note here that the hdparm command does nto work with this.
Imaging my Windows XP image took about 6 minutes though.
I also did the 2.4.22 kernel because there is a compiled BroadCom driver
on the Forge site.
And from Roy Erez...
So... SATA isn't supported by this trick on the Gx280 machines.
The only way I could get SATA to work in "normal" (not "compatibility")
mode in these machines was using the 2.4.28 kernel.
As of kernel 2.4.27 SATA is merged into the kernel source tree so you
don't need Alan Cox's patch to enable SATA.
This only patches I applied to my kernel were the zen patch and a
broadcom 57xx patch (had to change the version string in this one).
Although ICH6 isn't yet fully supported it does work in a "Looks like
ICH5" mode and I'm able to successfully take and put an image in "normal
" sata mode.
As to USB keyboard support - after trying several combinations I think
it's better to compile HID support using HIDBP rather than the full HID
layer - the only HID feature needed in the imaging environment is
keyboard support and HIDBP handles it well enough.
If you have already compiled drivers or have linux.2 please put them on
