<p>That is better approach.<br>
u can try compat-wireless. It supports wide range of kernel version. What wifi are u using, ralink or others? Each wifi has source, u can compile against ur kernel to build module. U need to enable wireless support in ur kernel.</p>

Dear Javier,<br>
<br>
Sorry for late reply, but thank you.<br>
<br>
I also searched for many things on the net, read a lot of documentation, but it seems almost impossible thing to do... (That is shame, where is the power of linux? :) Just kidding )<br>
<br>
Is there any way to do backporting ? For example, adding CIFS or USB WIFI support to my current kernel?<br>
<br>
If so, what are the steps for it?<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
<br>
Sertac<br>

Dear Harishkumar;<br>
<br>
I already know how to find the changes, please see my 1st e-mail below.<br>
<br>
The problem is, those changes are more than thousands of lines of code, and<br>
hundreds of files are added or modified.<br>
<br>
I wonder, how can I apply those thousands of changes to new kernel source<br>
quickly and easily?<br>
<br>

<br>
The bad news is that there isn't a quickly and easily way to do it.<br>
The kernel doesn't have an stable API (read<br>
Documentation/stable_api_<u></u>nonsense.txt) and the ARM part of the kernel<br>
is one of the most fast changing lately. So probably most of the<br>
drivers and SoC enablement platform code won't work with newer<br>
kernels.<br>
<br>
So, this isn't a trivial task.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
