EDIT: Just realized this isn't much of an issue as I just realized this is a bit overkill so I stuck with the out-of-the-box drivers.
I am trying to install more compatible drivers for my WiFi, which worked OK out of the box, but not as good as it could have. Ubuntu recommended I installed backport-iwlwifi-dkms so I did via apt. While installing, it seemed to error out in the console log and referenced this log file.
The only error I see in the log file is:
Code:
/var/lib/dkms/backport-iwlwifi/7906/build/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/utils.c: In function ‘iwl_mvm_get_sync_time’:

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make[9]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:290: /var/lib/dkms/backport-iwlwifi/7906/build/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/utils.o] Error 1
I don't exactly know what this means, but with my minor C experience it seems more like a warning than an error, and I don't know if this prevented it from fully compiling or not. Am I safe to reboot my system and use this driver/module?
