Questions About the 3.2 Kernel

[pisiiki]

Hello,


After playing a bit with the new kernel I have some questions:


1) How do I enable the usb host via menuconfig and with some console commands?


2) Why is the wifi driver in a separate git repository? Is there an easy way to build/install it?


Regards.

sudo modprobe ehci-hcd


For the on-board wifi.


When the kernel was 2.6, he wasn't part of the tree.


I may be wrong, but now, it's included in the kernel source.


For the Realtek dongle, seems he was too recent.


Also included now.

Yeah we had to use compat-wireless to get the wifi driver on the old kernel, so it had to be in separate tree.


For 3.x kernel it's all in the main tree.
