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 -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org X.509 Certificate: http://www.locolomo.org/crt/8D03551FFCE04F0C.crt Key ID: 69:79:B8:2C:E3:8F:E7:BE:5D:C3:C3:B1:74:62:B8:3F:9F:1F:69:B9
