As far as I get it, none of those links tackle the issue of buildi= ng an _external_ kernel module. The modules mentioned in the links are all part = of the linux-libre kernel. Currently it seems that we have no way to build an external module. It's q= uite problematic. I've sent a patch: 34758@debbugs.gnu.org. It needs the following: =2D Fix vhba-module 'build phase. =2D Optional: make a udev-related service to simplify the setup. The servi= ce won't work if the module is not included in the kernel. I'll continue the discussion there. =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAlx+s1YACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH/cSgf+IT3HuF3iYgOQ71GeIxyarnkhabdCeQMohMApXVo7FObNlFiqXnwvw2Gi r7ABQVO6s0F/d1Fg3ac14Lb4GuVlrnxlePjHcHNbzN8i/tT/Bf6IKBnRdDOCYyiE XJo1sGP8llnIPlRBn95KI7xlwNdNW9HTx/qivenIN/ZcyyQxnoMWXd9I0gnp+LXj Ypj8aQbwOCxh6uQmhoBBlZNNWWiha4u/2y4JO4TwXCuwVF9lLVH2GvN4/nNm1YjE dAulgSHO37Z559clTm89MMGtI1xa40pY5j4ns9US2lDLVkRC86l4P8dNCCtbxDjL aU8SA2zmKUP2nP5bObVRIKm0SkJxxQ== =P1x2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
