Precise: rerwin: 536/537 modem drivers

October 15, 2012 — BarryK
Rerwin has compiled kernel modules for the 3.2.29 kernel in Precise Puppy:

I have uploaded these to the 'common' repo. These are for people to experiment with, I don't intend to put them into the next release of Precise Puppy (417KB, 1.4MB):
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/linux_module_intel536ep-20120710-k3.2.29-smp.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/linux_module_intel537ep-20120710-k3.2.29-smp.pet

They require (6KB, 7KB):

http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/firmware_linux_module_intel537-20121007.pet
Notes for rerwin:

1.
In 'pinstall.sh':
[ "`pwd`" = "/" ] && depmod
...so that depmod will not execute if the PET is builtin when building a puppy in Woof.

2.
I have fleshed out the pet.specs files:

Note, I have also done this to the other modem driver PETs.
