Re: [9fans] applying a patch on 9front

[Chris Gorman <chrisjohgorman@gmail.com>]

HI jimerickso,

To get the patch to apply on my system, I used

cd /sys/src/9/pc
cat $home/etheriwl.c.diff | ape/patch -p5

Then you need to copy iwm-7265-17 from the openbsd firmware blobs and
put it into /lib/firmware, then build your kernel.

This will configure the iwm-7265-17 firmware blob to load with an
ac-7265.  Unfortunately, not all ac-7265's require this particular
blob.  I have another one that requires the iwm-7265D-29.  It also
identifies itself with the same pci id, 0x095a, so there is no way to
differentiate which firmware to load at the moment.  You have to know
what firmware the ac-7265 needs and then code etheriwl.c to suit.

Good luck and I hope you get your wireless working.  I kind of gave up
on mine as I couldn't get it to work at boot, but if you get it
working let me know.

Best regards,

Chris
