Hi Everyone:

I am trying to compile Wifi support, but getting stuck at a more basic
place.  I dont think I am even loading the kernel that I am
compiling.  Here is what I do - I did a menuconfig on the kernel, and
compiled bzImage.  I also did something like 'make SUBDIRS=drivers/net/
wireless/ath5k modules' to get a ath5k.ko file for the module.

Then I copied the bzImage into the vendor/asus/eee_701 directory as
suggested.  Also the ath5k.ko module into vendor/asus/eee_701/modules
directory.  The module ends up in the image allright.  I have added
the relavant lines in the init.rc to load the ath5k module also.

However, in the dmesg, I see something like "ath5k disagrees with the
version of struct_symbol".  Looks like the stock kernel that came from
the repo (2.6.25) is being loaded, rather than the one I compiled
2.6.27.  That kind of makes sense, since the driver didnt work when I
tried to make it part of the driver rather than a module either.

I must be missing a step after copying the bzImage into place and
before I compile the installer_img OR the make-live script is making a
difference.  One of these.  Can you help?

Regards,
Gani
