I am sorry but I am new to OpenWrt and have doubts not cleared for days.
Are you referring to http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/devel/patches Adding kernel patches subsection ? I haven't found any other related documentation actually. Also, I want to include a bunch of .h header files where i am defining my own structures. Which Makefiles should I add this file ? I don't want to pollute the OpenWrt tree by adding these files in the current tree. Can I give somewhere the location from where these files can be fixed ? There is no documentation on this. PS: According to you I should do : cd build_dir/linux-*/linux-2.* modify the ath9k driver here then, make target/linux/update V=99 and then move the linux-ar71xx image to the router for testing ! ! I hope I got this right.
