[solved] Custom Compiling Kernel Module
I need to compile the iflwifi module with option CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG in order to debug issues that I am having. I can't find any information on the best way to do that on Arch. Can someone point me to information? Thanks.
PS. This is related to the following bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116891

Re: [solved] Custom Compiling Kernel Module
Thanks. I think the ifwifi module is built into the kernel. Do I need to recompile the entire kernel, or is there someway to blacklist the builtin one and replace it with a custom, loadable module?

Re: [solved] Custom Compiling Kernel Module
Recommend you take a peek at the PKGBUILD for nct677x-git which replaces an intree kernel module the right way™: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nct677x-git/
CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs
