  • Why would you need those? Considered you are bound to a specific kernel you do not need support for 2.6.27 which is the only change noted in the Changelog.

    my D-Link DWA-110 doesn't work :loudly_crying_face:

  • This does not answer my question. In what way will "Support kernel 2.6.27" help you with your DWA-110?

  • Sorry for posting in this sub-forum ... but ....


    I have dm800 and dm800 works fine with wifi-usb pen (chip-set RALINK - module rt73.ko) ....


    I have dm7020 .... and i have to connect this tuner by wifi-pen ..... too ...
    I have found correct-working driver/module for old usb-pen (based on prism2 chip-set) .... but this old driver (2005) -
    only 11 M bps and WEP security ..... and it is very dificult to buy usb-pen based on prism2 nowadays .....


    Is it possible to create this driver (module) for dm7020 (power PC processor) ? please


    I would be the best to create ipk file :winking_face:
