I have a wifi card which requires the Realtek 8192cu driver. The drivers in the kernel don't work for me; I have to patch and compile the driver available on Realtek's website, and I have to manually recompile it every time I update the kernel.
I'd like to automate the process by using akmod. I'm having trouble finding documentation about how to make an akmod rpm. How would I go about creating one?
Hi, http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2 this link is the most recent document about it.
do you generate .ko (kernel modules) ? can you share the code ? to see if I could help you .
Sorry for late response, I've been busy and can't try it my self, but remember to tell you: you may see how wl-kmod made, is also one wireless drive! , http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/rpms/wl-kmod/devel/?root=nonfree
I do generate a .ko file. I've documented the compilation process http://jamesgecko.com/linux/fedora/howto/2013/07/05/setting-up-the-netis-wf-2116-wifi-adapter.html (here).
Hi, you have a package review , for broadcom-wl-6xx, Broadcom wireless devices https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2889https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2890 you follow it , and adapt for your drive
On the repository of rpmfusion there is a package called akmods. See also at 'rpmfusion.org'
I don't have experience with akmod. I had experience with kmod on my old PC for the nvdia driver. The akmods package contains a man for commands akmods and akmodsbuild. Perhaps this explains where to put your driver sources. I also know that akmods runs as a service systemctl start akmods
FYI: for NVIDIA rpmfusion puts the src rpm package in '/usr/src/akmods/'.
