Pi to 3.6.7.. and a Hardware Problem!

The 3.6.y tree at GitHub has now been updated to 3.6.7, keeping pace with the ‘mainline’ kernel. Compiling was similar to 3.6.6, and there is still a missing header file:   CC [M]  drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_80211_rx.o In file included from drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap.h:7:0,                  from drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_80211_rx.c:8: drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_wlan.h:13:27: fatal error: hostap_common.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[4]: *** [drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_80211_rx.o] Error … Continue reading →

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

The Raspberry Pi 3.6.y kernel branch in GitHub at https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-3.6.y has now been updated to version 3.6.6, and compiles cleanly, with a couple of small gotchas.. I have the wireless drivers selected, and for some reason one of the header files is missing – /drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_common.h..   It is a simple job to just copy this file over from … Continue reading →
