ath11k kernel module

Selfish request, could ath11k (wifi) modules be included in the kernel? I could install the firmware files separately but without the module it won't work.

hi, try the last kernel build by blaze,and which version of porteus you are running,

I'm using the latest kernel (Porteus Kernel Builder (Post by Blaze #102651)) and Porteus 5.1 alpha2. Thanks.

More specifically, what needs being done is:
That's selfishly the only ones I need.
There are many other kernel config for other Qualcomm network drivers such as:
Code: Select all
CONFIG_ATH11K=m
CONFIG_ATH11K_PCI=m

Ah, the never-ending battle. I wonder if there is a more modular way to handle this (not just ath11):
For instance, I'm running a scatter-disk install of PClinuxOS right now. Perhaps I could "borrow" those drivers that I need for use with Porteus, perhaps placing them in the rootcopy folder...
Sure, I could hunt all this down, compile the source myself, load them in.... but
I wonder if one is willing to do a scatter disk, or even a larger distro's live-usb, and snag the drivers that work with one's card/dongle for use with Porteus. It's the "hey it works in distroX, so I'll snag them for Porteus".

Yeah, I guess the only way is compiling your own customized kernel unfortunately. I am going to read some tutorials on how to compile the Porteus kernel and hopefully I can add those configs in.

Ah nice, there is an application to help build the kernel: Porteus Kernel Builder

Oh wow, that Porteus Kernel Builder thread is awesome!
It's still a little bit beyond my Ken, but total respect for you kernel guys. You rock!

Thanks agroferia, I so want to now. I'll get the courage somehow...

Hi agroferia.
Try this kernel 64bit-ALL-kernel6.14.4.tar for Porteus 5.1 alpha2.
It's not the last version of kernel coz we have issue with AUFS loopback patch.
More info is here 6.14.5: fails to apply 0001-aufs-6.14-merge-v20250414.patch
