add more drivers

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible to compile other drivers to be able to use other peripherals.
I inserted a sonixj webcam, which is detected but motion can't open.
instead of wifi, I can only use rt2800 peripherals if I'm not mistaken.

There are many webcam, we can not include all drivers because otherwise kernel and firmware size becomes too big. I need to look if there is a driver for your webcam.
Regarding wifi, some usb dongles can be used the required tools are included in the firmware but set-up will need to be done manually using linux command line. There are some topics in the forum describing how to do it. Gor example this thread https://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1485

If you have some more drivers saved, I could use them :whistle
regarding wifi, I have already configured it and it works with a USB wifi stick, but I wanted to try to integrate it via the PCI slot integrated into the mainboard. I think there are no PCI drivers.
I also noticed that it is not possible to do "ipgk update" in version 18.2

attached the driver for sonixj camera
Put the the kernel module in /lib/modules/4.14.133 make it executable (chmod 755)
To use load it using
Code: Select all
depmod
modprobe gspca_sonixj

Note the module will not be loaded automatic after reboot

about pcie, the main driver for pci interfaceis included in the firmware, dependent on which pcie card you want to use we need to search if there is a river available in the mainline linux kernel.
