How do I add new hardware to OpenWrt?

I have a Turris Omnia which has mini-pci slots. My dream is to grab a PCI-E adapter and plug in my desktop Adaptec RAID controller. What would I need to do to accomplish this?

Likely, just the proper kmod drivers for the card and file systems you use in the miniPCIe slot.

Including aacraid driver kernel mod and the file system you need.
There is no aacraid kernel mod, but since the driver is upstream creating one is really simple.

Is this what you were referring to? Is this one someone made already?

I read through the documentation again. I didn't realize there was another menuconfig.
Use make kernel_menuconfig and aacraid was there.

Thanks :slight_smile:
