compat-wireless-all is here (was -ck)

Fackamato · 2010-08-19 19:54:59

I managed to create a PKGBUILD that makes the modules for all installed kernels. It doesn't work with -git kernels for some reason, if you have a -git kernel installed, feel free to troubleshoot.

It's in AUR . http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40123

cheers

Hi I want to first thank you about the pkgbuild I'm using it but i have a little problem I wanto to make a patched version o compat-wireless for using it with aircrack-ng but I'm getting some troubles with the md5sum of the source because when te source gets downloaded from http://wireless.kernel.org/download/com … eless-2.6/ it's get rename to "-}.tar.bz2" so i cant make a md5sum
here is the pkgbuild that i make in fact it's yours I only made some changes like adding the patches and the new source version

Just remove the single quotes from around the first item so they don't interfere with that sed code or whatever it is:

source=(http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/$srcname-${pkgver//_/-}.tar.bz2 'mac80211.compat08082009.wl_frag+ack_v1.patch' 'channel-negative-one-maxim.patch')

Thanks, I was trying to find out why injection wasn't working with my iwl3945. I just installed aircrack-ng for the first time yesterday.

I'm getting stuff like this when I use makepkg:

I don't know if bsdtar is not uncompressing correctly or what. I've tried downloading multiple compat*tar.bz2, with the same result.

fphillips · 2010-10-04 18:44:03

Well it has something to do with USE_PACMAN_VERSION in the PKGBUILD, so it's Arch specific.
See the comments here, for example:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31123

Thanks @fphillips for the help thanks to your coments I was able to solve some issues now i'm compiling it for various drivers but I'm getting some errors when trying to compile al drivers also with athereos and ath group of drivers but when selecting what i think is a single driver it compiles

selecting ath group getting this error :

As I said above selecting individual drivers works (wich i have tested):
b43, ath5k, rt2x00
(b43 fully working )

drivers groups wich I have tested
intel , iwlwifi, wl12xx

here it is

and about your error I think you should check about this

/home/fp/builds/compat-wireless-all/src/compat-wireless-2010-10-02/config.mk:196: "WARNING: CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT will be deactivated or not working because kernel was compiled with CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=n. Tools using wext interface like iwconfig will not work. To activate it build your kernel e.g. with CONFIG_LIBIPW=m."

fphillips · 2010-10-04 21:31:37

Yes I get the same error. ath9k needs a patch. Maybe a different compat tarball won't have the bug.

iwlwifi group is working here, too. Here are some other comments:

I have stock and -lts kernels installed. It tries to build for both kernels, but -lts doesn't have a build directory in /lib/modules, so it fails. I uninstalled the -lts kernel, but it should skip it like it does for -git kernels.

There is two DRIVER_GROUP lines. You can remove the one for b43, but mention it as a possible group.

Also, it would be nice if all the bluetooth stuff didn't get built, I think it is unnecessary for this package. Maybe patch the Makefile with a BT=FALSE ?

cruznick · 2010-10-05 01:38:36

well I just figure out that the reason it wasn't the pkgbuild it was the source maybe a bug but now with source version 2010-10-04 it compiles complety so I think it's a matter of luck when compiling the pkg for bluetooth well I haven't think about that so I don't have a way to do it in this moment I'm going to search some info about it and for a posible way to skip that part and for the momente the pkg its working with last update

Edit : Well having random troubles with atheros and ath groups again from that group only ath5k driver is compiling

Edit 2 : Well it seems that this is kernel trouble see this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=105871

I made another pkgbuild but for the stable compat-wireless with that one all groups compiles http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41472
