I will be happy to test the kernel you built and report on the stability over the next few days. BTW, I did build my own kernel this last weekend using Robert C Nelson's instructions and patchset, and thus I've already had 3.13.rc7 working on my Wandboard Quad, which did allow me to enable WiFi. However, I reverted to the stock Fedora 3.12.6 kernel since I was really not planning to get into kernel building for any serious purpose. Probably, the main benefit is that I now have a serial cable to USB adapter that works :D ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
