I really don't know what to change in that patch, in the kmtaylor git there are a few lines of code, ?Ĭompiling the kernel natively should be more documented or a short tuto (step by step) could help to avoid bandwidth consumption at each entire cross-compilation.

I have read documentation about user provided patches under user configuration, and despite the patch was in the right place i did not succeed. Many people purchased that 1,5$ chinese adapter and since OPi lite contains 2usb and 1 OTG, i think statistically many people will face this problem in the future. I know the easiest way is to buy an RTL based chip adapter as advised by Tkaiser and that's what i'm gonna do but remember the first philosophy of raspberry or arm based nano cards at the beginning it was to use old or cheap hardware such as keyboard mouse and 15 years old crt screen. I've read that this patch (hack) corrects some buffer overflow, but since there is no other solution we have to deal with it. Only cross-compilation is officially supported, though you can apply the patches manually and compile the kernel natively on the device.
Please note that the patch you linked applies only to specific kernel versions, so you'll have to recreate the patch that will apply on the selected kernel (3.4.x or 4.10.x). And since there are no USB quirks for this device it's easier to replace it than to modify whole USB Ethernet stack. Raspberry Pi kernel applies "dm9601-bug.patch" which is a hack and not a proper solution according to the found info and patch contents.

How to complete the compilation steps described in 5/ ? So why is this network adapter working on older kernel in Linux mint, and is compilation the right way to make it work? Make -j4 uImage modules # i took almost 1h30Īfter that i have this content, but can't find how to use it since compiling kernel for arm is different from x86 cause there is no grub to choose the kernel to boot, and i can't find any methods on how to compile kernel (to enable a feature or apply a patch) for armbian except the whole compilation using Igor's script.Ĭopying zImage to /boot didn't work and gives an error related to /boot /.next and ls -l arch/arm/boot/ Make menuconfig # here i selected usb ethernet support and all necessary modules with M or *
