[maemo-developers] Fwd: Compiling latest kernel (from kernel.org, linux-omap git version) in n800

[From: Leandro Melo de Sales]

Guillerm,

  thanks for your reply. So, about the use of --force-vermagic with
busybox modprobe... What should I have to do to make busybox modprobe
support --force-vermagic? get modprobe source code, and...?
 How about to use n770? The WLAN interface driver source code is
available or it is like n800?

Thank you,
Leandro.
