- install the kernel sources
# ln -s /usr/src/linux-<your-kernel> /usr/src/linux
# cp /boot/config-<your-kernel> /usr/src/linux/oldconfig
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
- go to one of the last menu-entrys named "load an alternate configuration
file"
- load the previously copied oldconfig
- Dont do anything else, you have the now original configuration.
- go to exit and click yes by asking you for save
(you don't need to do that all, a simple copy like cp
/boot/config-<your-kernel> /usr/src/linux/.config
would be enough, but you should know what to do and why )
make
- wait until "make" completed (drink a coffee or something, several hours)
- now go to your driversourcedir and try to compile the wlandriver again
