Compat Wireless for tc-5.x

[Fantasma]

Hi, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question (sorry if not)
I wonder if is there a way to patch compat-wireless (wireless-3.8.13-tinycore.tcz) since it is not working properly with tiny core 5.1 (not even tc 5.0 nor 5.0.2 with wireless-3.8.10) since it has the channel -1 issue.
I know it needs the channel-negative-one-maxim patch and mac80211.compat08082009.wl_frag+ack_v1.patch, but i don't know how apply that patches in tiny core.
Any help with this is much appreciated 
Thanks.

There's an explanation on how to apply the patches here:

Edit: BTW, the name changed compat-wireless -> compat-drivers -> backports:

Thanks so much for reply, sadly i'm getting the following error:



Any chance to get wireless-3.8.13-tinycore.tcz already patched? or somebody can point me in the right direction to make it work?
Thanks and best regards.

Assuming you unpacked the patched kernel in /usr/src/linux-3.8.13-patched, then you need:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.8.13-patched /lib/modules/3.8.13-tinycore/build

BTW, perhaps I'm missing something, but why would you use compat-drivers-3.8.1 on a 3.8.13 kernel rather than, say backports-3.12.1?

Also, I presume those patches would have been applied to backports-3.12.1?

Sorry, the original modules are shipped pristine to avoid regressions. But we'll welcome a compat-wireless extension like with previous versions, if you'd like to contribute one. I assume other aircrackers will then be happy too

I tried different backports and compat-drivers versions, from newer to older with same results, that was the last i tried (that's why the capture) but i will try again following your directions 
Thanks for your patience and kindly help

Sure i'd like to contribute with it, if i can finally make it work (since this is the first time that i'm
messing with system and stuff) but i'll do my best.

Hello again, i stopped the compat-wireless (backports) for tc for a while due to a little work overload, but now i have a spare time to work on it.
I'm trying to compile latest backports (backports-3.13.2-1) on TC 5.2 but it says that "Kernel headers it's not installed"
then, i installed linux-kernel-sources-env.tcz and linux-3.8.3_api_headers.tcz but after i type: make defconfig-wifi the same kernel headers not installed message is displayed.
How to compile backports on TC 5.2 in the right way?
Thanks and B.R

Hi Fantasma

... i installed linux-kernel-sources-env.tcz ...

I guess you didn't bother to read the info file for this extension which states:

Comments:       Script to download and install full Linux
                kernel sources for compiling modules, etc.

Did you run the script? There should be an entry to run it from the desktop menu.
