ath11k kernel module

[agroferia]

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,

[agroferia]

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

[agroferia]

More specifically, what needs being done is:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_ATH11K=m
CONFIG_ATH11K_PCI=m

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_ATH5K=m
CONFIG_ATH9K=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_AHB=y
CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m
CONFIG_CARL9170=m
CONFIG_CARL9170_HWRNG=y
CONFIG_ATH6KL=m
CONFIG_ATH6KL_SDIO=m
CONFIG_ATH6KL_USB=m
CONFIG_ATH6KL_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_AR5523=m
CONFIG_WIL6210=m
CONFIG_ATH10K=m
CONFIG_ATH10K_PCI=m
CONFIG_ATH10K_SDIO=m
CONFIG_ATH10K_USB=m
CONFIG_WCN36XX=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.

[agroferia]

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

[nanZor]

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
