"for 3.2 version", or "the wireless code as it was in the 3.2 version"? Wsing compat-wireless (or now backports) from 3.2 with kernel 3.2 makes no sense, at it is exactly the same code. The backports package 3.10 works with a linux kernel 3.2 - after all, thats the reason they are backports. > In that link, there are all for >= 3.7 Linux kernel version. Not "for" - FROM. backports 3.10rcX is the wireless (plus now DRI) code from 3.10rcX to use it on older kernels. > Exist any site for 3.2 Linux kernel version of compat-wireless ? I have no idea if there are still public archives of the older compat-wireless around. At worst you can recreate them using the git repositories and the kernel git yourself. https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/ may have some documentation about how to go about this. c'ya sven-haegar -- Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. - Ben F.
