Hi,
My kernel version is v4.4, and I have built drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc.ko. I change to *dir*/drivers/staging/dgnc and do like this:
sudo insmod ./dgnc.ko
Do you have the hardware that this driver controls?
I'm not sure. My laptop is Dell Inspiron 14R - 5437 and I don't know if there is the right hardware. I often don't know about what a driver is used for in drivers/staging/. Is there any good way to know the function of a driver or module?
If you don't think you have the hardware, then almost always, you don't have the hardware, it's pretty simple :)
sudo lsmod | grep dgnc
Does that show anything?
Output: dgnc 65536 0
Great, it loaded, then crashes when you unload, congratulations, you can now work on fixing that bug! good luck, greg k-h
