Status: resolved

aec62xx module doesn't build with 2.6

When building OpenWRT with the brcm47xx-2.4 kernel, and the WL-700G target profile, it builds that module by default: kmod-ide-aec62xx_2.4.34-brcm-1_mipsel.ipk

Brett discovered that when building OpenWRT with the brcm47xx-2.6 kernel target, it refuses to build the aec62xx module at all.

To work around this, ./build_dir/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.22.1/.config needs to be adjusted. See: AccessingTheHardDisk
