Building manually without dkms

[bragma]

Hi, I need help building this module. My system does not have dkms so I think I have to build manually from sources. Can you provide me with some directions? Thanks a lot!

Running make in the top level directory should work.

Hi dubhater, thanks for answering. Where should the top level dir be placed in the kernel source tree? Will this integrate the driver in makeconfig?

[dubhater]

I have no idea about makeconfig. You install the kernel headers for your kernel, you clone this repo wherever you want, you run make. That should be the entire process, theoretically. You don't need the kernel source, just the headers.

Ok thanks, I'll try. Complicated part is that I am building a target Yocto distribution on a host so I have to set the correct headers (those of the target, not the host).

Hi, I made it work with yocto! hostapd does not work, though.
