Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hi all, I have a problem with the compat-wireless. It seems "mac80211.ko" and "cfg80211.ko" are not compatible with the ones in main line kernel. In my case, it is kernel 3.4.9(Fedora 16). I want to use compat-wireless version of "mac80211.ko" and "cfg80211.ko" for Realtek rtl8723ae but for other wireless cards, I want to use main line kernel version of "mac80211.ko" and "cfg80211.ko". This switch should happen at the boot time since I need to support a lot of PCs with the single kernel. Can someone tell me where the "modprobe rtl8723ae (and for other PCI devices)" get called when I run the kernel on the PC with rtl8723 wireless card? I searched the entire scripts under /etc but I could not find. What is the right thing to do? I appreciate your advise. -- Akira Nonaka
