mac80211 is actually a bit tricky since quilt doesn't work. I'd recommend cloning the appropriate tag from <https://github.com/mcgrof/compat-wireless>, then applying the OpenWrt patches on top of it (with e.g. git apply - don't forget to commit, but all as one should be fine). Then you can create patches you can put into package/mac80211/patches/ (they should come last). > a/compat-wireless-2011-08-10/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h > b/compat-wireless-2011-08-10/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h > index c03949e..0b31c10 100644 > --- a/compat-wireless-2011-08-10/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h > +++ b/compat-wireless-2011-08-10/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h The base is wrong, it should be a/drivers/net/... . without the compat-wireless... . > @@ -122,9 +122,14 @@ void ath_descdma_cleanup(struct ath_softc *sc, struct > ath_descdma *dd, > /***********/ > My questing is : > 0) should index line be present in the patch ? It doesn't hurt, but it doesn't help either, patch ignores it when applying them. For a working patch the ---/+++ lines and the changes are enough, everything else is just fluff. > 1) Where should I place this patch file ? in package/mac80211/patches/ (where all patches are). > 2) What are the set of easiest commands to get this patch to be > applied/compile ?

Not for mac80211/compat-wireless, so just ignore it ;) Regards Jonas _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
