So it seems there is an older thread regarding this NIC in question. I have been trying to compile a kernel module from available drivers and to no avail I haven’t been able to (or rather I am having a hard time doing so). TLDR, I have build in a linux box but I would like to just make the ipk for this device in question. I have done quite a bit of reading and it seems I need to compile from source, that being said I would like to have that added to the main kernel as it is available in other Linux distros but not in OpenWRT. Does anyone have any pointers as to what I should do to get this to work?
Making kmod is next step , first you have to try enabling qede driver in make kernel_menuconfig - then check what firmwares it asks with driver included in kernel. Only after this basic testing you have to package driver and firmware packages.
That’s exactly what I am trying to figure out how to do. It’s been a while since I have done so as I did do this with an MWAN card. Only thing is I didn’t ask anyone here.
I am confused? Did I open a report in the wrong place? I am trying get an ipk made. I want to test it. I didn’t fake testing anything. It shows up in hardware…
No no that’s not what I meant at all! Oh by George…
This shows up in lspci, I couldn’t figure out how to pull this from the Linux main itself. OpenWRT doesn’t have this kernel module in it’s main tree. All I was asking was a pull from there.
I’ll just go into that rabbit hole myself then. I am certain this will work as there are others similar to this that have a module. I should have been more clear.
