HAMRADIO kernel modules

DPY · October 25, 2020, 8:25pm

I’m attempting to install ax25 applications on Debian. These programs do not work because mkiss.ko, ax25.ko and netrom.ko kernel modules are missing.

On a plain vanilla x86_64 Debian, these module are installed on

/usr/lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/hamradio/mkiss.ko /usr/lib/modules//kernel/net/ax25/ax25.ko /usr/lib/modules//kernel/net/netrom/netrom.ko

but on BPI these folders are missing. Is there a way to add this modules without recompiling whole kernel?

Thank you for advance.

No, but making a new kernel is easy. At least modern one: https://github.com/armbian/build

Note that this hardware is not officially supported and some features might not be working. But it will probably be the fastes and best way.

P.S. Actually you don’t need to do anything:
