Has anybody tried to get compat-wireless working with DKMS? This would
be really handy for me since I run Ubuntu and they have been pushing
kernel updates pretty frequently lately, but I need the newest
compat-wireless to run my Atheros card in master mode via ath5k...
I tried for quite a while today and the build just won't work. (The
'make clean' step returns error 2, and then the build itself fails with
"(directory it's building in) is a directory. Stop.") I think it's
because the Makefile for compat-wireless uses the PWD environment
variable, but I'm not well-versed enough in Makefiles to fix it up so
that it'll work from a different directory (DKMS builds modules in
/var/lib/dkms/MODULE_NAME/VERSION/build instead of wherever I unpacked
the source).
Any advice would be appreciated...
Thanks,
-Jeremy
Oh, cool. Is that in the Jaunty repositories? The latest kernel
release I'm seeing (with -proposed and -backports enabled) is 2.6.28-15...
Thanks,

I've been packaging compat-wireless in linux-backports-modules-2.6.31 on
a semi-spasmodic basis. Current version contains wireless-testing
master-2009-09-01.
