[英]How to change configuration of kernel while installing a driver (ath9k) on Ubuntu
I am a newbie trying to install ath9k for my wireless network interface card with Atheros AR9170 chipset. 我是一个新手,试图使用Atheros AR9170芯片组为我的无线网络接口卡安装ath9k。 The install procedure says after the install of the compat wireless stable release, go to menuconfig and enable a couple of things under Networking (cfg80211, mac80211) and Driver (atheros 802.11n support) while compiling the kernel.
安装过程说,在安装了compat无线稳定版之后,在编译内核时,转到menuconfig并在Networking(cfg80211,mac80211)和Driver(支持atheros 802.11n)下启用几项功能。 I did go to usr/src/(linux kernel header in use)/ and change these configurations.
我确实去了usr / src /(正在使用Linux内核头文件)/并更改了这些配置。 What do I need to do next?
接下来我需要做什么? How do are these configurations reflected?
这些配置如何体现? When I connect my hardware, it doesn't get recognized yet/
当我连接硬件时,它尚未被识别/
If you are using Ubuntu (guessing from the tag), you should have ath9k enabled in the kernel already, as well as its dependencies (such as mac80211). 如果您正在使用Ubuntu(通过标记猜测),则应该已经在内核中启用了ath9k及其相关性(例如mac80211)。 You only need compile-wireless (now renamed to backports) if you need new features or bug fixes not available in the Ubuntu kernel.
如果您需要Ubuntu内核中不提供的新功能或错误修复,则仅需要无线编译(现在已重命名为backports)。 But even then, you should not need to recompile the kernel.
但是即使那样,您也不需要重新编译内核。 It should have the configuration you need.
它应该具有所需的配置。 An important goal of backports is to avoid the need to recompile vendor kernels while upgrading some of the drivers.
反向移植的重要目标是避免在升级某些驱动程序时重新编译供应商内核。
You are probably experiencing some other issue, such as missing AR9170 firmware, so you decided that you need to install the driver. 您可能遇到了其他问题,例如缺少AR9170固件,因此您决定需要安装驱动程序。 Or maybe it's the Windows mindset - new devices need installing new drivers.
也许这是Windows的心态-新设备需要安装新的驱动程序。 It's hard to say without a detailed report that includes the relevant software versions, what you observe, what you expect and what you do.
如果没有包含相关软件版本,观察到的内容,期望的内容和操作的详细报告,很难说。 When quoting documentation, please quote exactly.
