[Voyage-linux] Re: ath5k: version magic '3.0.0 SMP preempt mod_unload 486 ' should be '3.0.0-voyage SMP preempt mod_unload 486 '

Hi,

sorry to be pushy, but is this question so obvious that it doesn't
require answer?

I have no idea how to update the wireless driver. I couldn't find any
depmod.conf.

As far as I can tell, no driver in /lib/modules/3.0.0/updates/ is
considered at boot.

Any suggestion would be really appreciated.

Thank you,
alfonso
