Installing affix in Ubuntu
Hi I'm trying to install the affix module
http://affix.sourceforge.net/index.shtml#news
Its a bluetooth protocol stack and I think I'd work in replace of bluez. My hardware says to be supported by it in the supported hardware list.
However, when I read the install instructions fro Debian in
http://affix.sourceforge.net/affix-e...r/1.1/c39.html
the first thing it says is that I have to configure my kernel with make menuconfig and I know those are kin of compilign commands, however, I dont know where should I launch those commands nor if I have the kernel source to compile it and how dangerous it is.
Well, any help will be appreciated.
Sorry for my ugly english
Re: Installing affix in Ubuntu
Ok, I've found some info in the internet and now I'm trying to disable the modules needed to be disabled for affix:
In the Affix installation manual says
Quote:
You have to configure you kernel before you can start installing Affix kernel module. To configure your kernel directory and use command make menuconfig to configure your kernel. Then,
* disable "Bluetooth support" (Bluez) support on Networking support page
* disable "USB Bluetooth TTY support" on USB support page
* enable support for USB devices
* enable support for PCMCIA device
* enable yenta_socket support
* enable support hot plug devices
* enable DEVFS device file system. This is highly recommended.
* enable support for PPP
But now I don't know what modules should I affect, there is a Networking and others but I don't see the USB support. I'm affraid of messing something up but I'll keep trying. Any help will be appreciated.
This is the list of Options in my make menuconfig:
General setup --->[*] Enable loadable module support --->[*] Enable the block layer --->
Processor type and features --->
Power management options --->
Bus options (PCI etc.) --->
Executable file formats / Emulations --->
Networking --->
Device Drivers --->
