at76 linux driver for kernel 2.6.31 and (hopefully) up

15 Nov, 2009  No Comment

So I was bored on a saturday evening and decided to try to get my old linksys external USB adapter to work with the new Ubuntu Karmic. It’s drivers wouldn’t compile in the new kernel because they altered the net_device struct in the header files. After fixing it, here are the steps to get it compiled and installed in ubuntu karmic:

  1. Get the original drivers from http://at76c503a.berlios.de/
  2. Replace the at76_usb.c with this
  3. $ make
  4. $ sudo make install
  5. reboot

That should do the trick!
