Trying to build v1.09H using legacy kernel source

[mrdc]

Hi,

I’ll use this issue to track the progress of compiling the latest official firmware (1.09H) using the old toolset. It looks like the latest firmwares still use the same kernel & u-boot, but with some patches applied to the kernel (just guessing). I’ll include the support for Edimax EW-7811Un V2 as soon as I’ll compile the whole firmware. Successfully built for 1.04/1.05 as a separate module, but will embed it to make it plug&play by flashing the new firmware.

Kernel:

The error for b43 can be eliminated by changing kernel build settings.

Almost! :D Only these errors are left to have error-free kernel build for v109D.
