Hi,

I will use my Jornada for doing RF Stuff and need a patched hostAP Wlan Driver for injection also I need a new kernel module for my Bluetooh Card. After a few hours of compiling things I don't have any working driver or Kernel module.
On my Debian Laptop I compile the kernels I use myself but I have no experience in compiling thinks for other Architectures. I use the Kernel 2.4.34-j720 #4. Now the questions:

- Can I use Kernel Sources from here http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ with an patch from here http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~simigern/jornada-7xx/linu...
- Can I compile the Kernel on the Jornada itself or must I use a cross compiler on my x86 machine.
- I try to compile wicrawl-0.3a and got following error “unknown register name '%edx' in 'asm'” witch is also a cross compiling issue. Inside the Code assembler is used direct and the x86 commandset ist different to the ARM. Is ist "easy" possible to compile it anyway without writing new code?

All help or a good howto is welcome and I think it would help the Community getting more Software to work.

A howto like this but for ARM and Kernel 2.4 would help.

of course not. you need to rewrite that part, you cant convert x86 to arm asm automatically.
