= Build kernel from sources =
'''Download''' the latest stable version sources (same version/branch for all newer and older igep00x0 devices) and follow next steps:
wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/releases/linux_kernel/v2.6.37-1011/linux-omap-2.6.37-10-wilink8-011.tar.gz tar xzf linux-omap-2.6.37-10-wilink8-011.tar.gz
cd [kernel version]
'''Configure''' Linux kernel for IGEP devices. IGEP is ARM architecture based device. A generic configuration is provided for all IGEP machinesFor newer wilink8 wifi version, and can it should be used as the default by a '''new 'igep00x0_wilink8_defconfig' file'''. ([http://git.isee.biz/?p=pub/scm/linux-omap-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c9aac4fd20f833099f658a654257f2295c5303bb patch])
make ARCH=arm igep00x0_defconfigigep00x0_wilink8_defconfigg
Then '''build''' the kernel and kernel modules. The result will be an ''zImage'' file in arch/arm/boot directory. Execute:
'''Download''' the Compat-Wireless version sources and follow next steps:
wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/releases/linux_kernel/v2.6.37-1011/compat-wireless-wilink8-0.tar.gz
tar xzf compat-wireless-wilink8-0.tar.gz
