Hi Geoff, You can try and compile the module against an older version of the kernel, assuming you have the kernel headers and config files used to build the target kernel installed. Depending on your distro, the headers may be in a separate package, not bundled with the kernel package itself. They normally live under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build, at least that's what I am used to. In any case, compiling the whole kernel is not needed. The how is in Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt in the kernel sources (you can use LXR if the documentation is not installed on your system). It should boil down to make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` or equivalent (then repeat with modules_install target). In principle, there is no guarantee that it will build or work correctly, but you know that. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | p...@goldshmidt.org ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

You can try backporting its source, but note that the Linux kernel does not maintain backward-compatibility for internal kernel APIs (including those used for writing drivers) between kernel versions, so it may a bit of work. It is possible to build a kernel module standalone using some GNU make tricks, maybe see: http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html Or: https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/ip-noise/src/5283225de39338345cba5372607cc26d3766d1d5/C/ker_ipq/Makefile?at=default (The latter was written by my partner and by me and may be out of date.)

Fwd: DVB-T and Linux updated.
This has been a long standing question and I have an answer. It may not be the only answer, but here is one that worked for me with a minimum of effort. I have spent more time, and here is more (hopefully useable) information. I am using Zorin 7 x86 version. (It's an UBUNTU derivative) running Kernel 3.8. I had two old sticks. One was an APEX (Geniatech) T328B. It worked under Windows, but I was never able to get it to work under Linux. It uses an AF9015 chipset. I found on the Geniatech website the latest Windows drivers for it which load the proper firmware into the stick. There is a driver for it in the 3.8 Kernel, but nowhere is there the proper firmware for it, so it is unusable under Linux. I tried all available firmware versions. If someone wants to try and strip the firmware from the windows drivers, or knows whom to contact, I can forward you the link, contact me off list. The second one just says Nikom on it. It works with the same Geniatech driver, but it turns out it has an AF9035 chipset in it. The 3.8 Kernel has a driver for it, and the latest version of available firmware works fine in it. The third is a TerraTec Cinergy +, which uses an RTL2382U chipset and an Elonics E4000 receiver. These used to be available for as little as $10 on eBay. It is supported in the 3.8 Kernel. These are now very hard to get. The TerraTec ones are over $40 on eBay, but there are ones that claim to have E4000 receivers, for around $15. Many of them are listed as E4000 upgrade version and really have (it's in the fine print) R820T tuners. THESE STICKS ARE NOT SUPPORTED IN LINUX.
