Dear all,
I have started to modify the linux wireless (mac80211) in order to
had some MAC layer statistics. I am using compat-wireless-3.2-rc6-3
and this is my first kernel programming experience. I do not know how
to face programming errors without corrupting a kernel version, e.g.,
due to my modification to the code, in this moment I get a black
screen with kernel 2.6.32-37-generic. I have now booted with
2.6.32-38-generic: how can I restore the previous version of the
modules in the kernel 2.6.37-generic?
Moreover, is there any way to do a sort of debug ?
Thank you

*may be you can try to switch off your wifi with the help of rfkill
switch, boot your machine and install a new compat wireless
*or boot with 2.6.32-38-generic and remove mac80211.ko (or) your driver files in
/lib/modules/2.6.32-37../updates/net/mac80211
