[Closed] Compat Wireless

Hi All,
I've been trying to set up compat-wireless-patched from the AUR to support my rtl8188ce network adapter. I've taken the usual stroll through google looking for guidance on the subject, but to no avail. Can anyone give me a basic idea of how I would go about configuring the modules post-install?

You shouldn't. If the package installation routine is scripted the right way, just installing it should suffice. Maybe an additional depmod run, but after that, you could just unload the old modules, and load the new ones. The new ones are placed in the updates/ subdir and modules in there are automatically preferred by the kernel over ones in its regular module path.
