Yes, I already checked compat-wireless project. However, as you see from their page, they support down to 2.6.24. As you remember from my 1st post, my kernel version is 2.6.12.5
I also have RALINK and Realtek sources, however they also need the kernel source tree to compile their modules, and my current kernel also does not have enough header files to compile their source ( at least ralink) But anyway, I will try to find a way to communicate with these people, and lets see if they can do a favour for a very old kernel ( 2.6.12.5). Thank you again. ----- Original Message ----- From: Harishkumar V To: Sertac TULLUK Cc: Javier Martinez Canillas ; [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2012 5:52 AM Subject: Re: New kernel for Chipbox That is better approach. u can try compat-wireless. It supports wide range of kernel version. What wifi are u using, ralink or others? Each wifi has source, u can compile against ur kernel to build module. U need to enable wireless support in ur kernel. On 10 Jun 2012 00:36, "Sertac TULLUK" <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Javier, Sorry for late reply, but thank you. I also searched for many things on the net, read a lot of documentation, but it seems almost impossible thing to do... (That is shame, where is the power of linux? :) Just kidding ) Is there any way to do backporting ? For example, adding CIFS or USB WIFI support to my current kernel? If so, what are the steps for it?

The problem is, those changes are more than thousands of lines of code, and hundreds of files are added or modified. I wonder, how can I apply those thousands of changes to new kernel source quickly and easily? The bad news is that there isn't a quickly and easily way to do it. The kernel doesn't have an stable API (read Documentation/stable_api_nonsense.txt) and the ARM part of the kernel is one of the most fast changing lately. So probably most of the drivers and SoC enablement platform code won't work with newer kernels. So, this isn't a trivial task.
