So I have compiled the driver for my USB wireless adapter.
Now I need to know where I should copy the .ko file to. The question is really the following:
What is the difference between
/lib/modules/(uname -r)/build
and
/lib/module/(uname -r)/kernel/drivers
?
Thank you already
When I add the .ko file to
/lib/module/(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
the driver will be used to drive my USB adapter when I start the computer, at least when I execute 'depmod' after copying the file to a folder under .../kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ or .../kernel/net/wireless/
When I copy the driver to a folder under .../build the driver which is also a module isn't used to drive my USB adapter when I start the computer. Also when placed under build, 'modprobe' can't find the module after executing 'depmod'.
This actually tells me that .../build is never a good choice for placing a driver.
