Hi:
I have had some problems, it seems that the drivers in -STABLE does not
support my hardware fully. So I want to try out drivers on -CURRENT
without switching the whole system up to current.
What is the best way to do this?
- checkout current and copy the relevant source into the stable source
tree?
- checkout and compile -CURRENT kernel and then copy relevant kernel
modules?
- or won't work at all? problems with linking? other?
It appears that most modules don't have a separate make file, how do I
compile just the module in question?
Thanks, Erik
