Make doesnt generate target Modules

[Sarvesh81]

Hi all,

I am trying to buid driver modules against a custom kernel.
Actually with the same source modules are generated for 2.6 kernel source.
But when i do make with PATH set to kernel, make completes but no modules are generated for mu custom kernel.
Any idea on how to trace the issue.

Did make give you any error messages? If not, where did you look for your freshly built modules?

Hi,
Actually trying to build ath9k modules against 2.4.20 version kernel.
But when make is done against 2.6.30 kernel, it succeds generating modules in
compat-wireless/drivers/wireless/ath9k folder.

Hi,

Here is the log for make:

Hi,

I doubt that this would ever work. There are too many differences in a 2.4 kernel. You can't even install the compat-wireless drivers on earlier 2.6 kernels, because of kernel changes.

Yep, that would be correct, if I recall correctly 2.4 did not have in-kernel wireless stack.
