This needs to be the same version as the operating system you are running or the driver will not load. If you can get this to work then you are more than half way there.īefore you can build a device driver a copy of the kernel source is needed. It is useful to grab the example Hello World loadable kernel module.

There is a concise description of how to compile the Raspberry Pi kernel at. The Raspberry Pi Foundation Kernel Building and Configuring the Kernel pages give you the specifics you will need to build a Raspberry Pi kernel and device drivers. The book was written by Greg Kroah-Hartman one half of the Linux stable release team.

Linux Kernel in a Nutshell contains a great introduction to building the Linux kernel and device drivers from source and explains many of the concepts you will need to get started. In order to build a device driver you first need to have the source code for your running kernel. There are copies of the source available on github. The need – a Raspbian Linux device driver for the Netgear A6100 WiFi USB adapterĪfter a little googling, I found that a Netgear A6100 needs the Realtek rtl8812au driver. Rather than dropping it in the unused bits box and waiting for a supported device to arrive, this seems like the perfect opportunity to get another strange and perverse contraption to work. Unfortunately the Netgear A6100 did not work, and a little research showed this particular device was not on the supported WiFi gadgets list. 
Netgear is a well known brand, should be supported, Raspberry Pi’s support all manner of devices out of the box, dont they? Rather than consult the lists and order one online (the right thing to do) I let my impatience get the better of me and grabbed a Netgear A6100 while passing through local electronics store. In my case I needed a wifi adapter for my new Raspberry Pi 2.
… or how to get unsupported stuff to work on Linux.Įvery now and then, you are likely to find yourself with an unsupported gadget or two.
