wireless-testing is a git tree based on Linus Torval's own git tree for Linux development. It contains the entire kernel. On top of Linus' stuff are the patches being queued up for the wireless subsystem for the next kernel release, in this case right now for 2.6.32. Compiling wireless-testing means compiling your own kernel. To compile your own kernel you need to configure the kernel first. To do that you can read the documentation on how to do that on README. A quick way would be to cp your current kernel's .config to the wireless-testing/.config and then run 'make menuconfig;' and exit. That would then base your current kernel configuration based on your distribution's kernel. The compile will take significantly long but it'll be close to what your distribution has today. After you are done configuring your kernel you run: make sudo make modules_install install Now, the install target will only do the full job if your distribution has an appropriate /sbin/installkernel. What I mean by doing a full job I mean copying the kernel to /boot/ but also building the initramfs for it, putting into /boot/ and updating your grub menu.lst file. Fedora has an /sbin/installkernel file so you should be fine with that. Ubuntu does't. I've sent a patch to add it but that patch has been ignored. I'm attaching my /sbin/installkernel in case you have Ubuntu. compat-wireless exists to help you just compile the wireless subsystem from wireless-testing, even on older kernels. I suspect its easier for you to just use compat-wireless than building your own kernel from wireless-testing if you've never done that before. Anyway I've updated compat-wireless to reflect John's new updates on wireless-testing. I've also added a new ./scripts/driver-select on compat-wireless which lets you select the driver you want so you do not have to compile all wireless drivers. In your case you can run: ./scripts/driver-select ath9k Run it with no arguments to get a list of supported stuff.
