I know that there is a way to build a custom openwrt image for specific hardware but it exceeds my skillset at this time.
Is there a way to install custom kernel modules from within smoothwan? I tried standard linux updated commands in the terminal with no success.
Currently running on a bare metal N6005 fanless PC with 4x2.5Gb ports, would be great to know if I would benefit from custom kernel mods for my hardware.
I did go ahead and boot the PC from a live MX linux USB drive and ran update & upgrade, installed to NVME drive, rebooted to NVME, verified updates all complete and then saved the output from lsmod for future reference.
Yes you could with opkg
, modules are packaged and named as kmod-<module>
usually.
What module are you interested in adding?
I’m wondering if the system might run better with updated intel modules for the 2.5 G Nics and N6005 APU. I’m not actually sure if I would benefit or not, just assuming.
