E7440 kernel
-
I meant the linux-3.13.6 folder. I did a compatibility check and i got a fail on the network check, i’m guessing its this [url]http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e7440-ultrabook?driverId=WM2WJ&osCode=W864&fileId=3301308144&languageCode=en&categoryId=NI[/url]
I saw something about e1000 as a error which could be intel 1gig nic. It would be great if you add it but I would like to see some instructions on what you did afterwards so perhaps i can add that knowledge to my toolbox:)

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24089, member: 7271”]I’m confused about the 3136 folder. Do you know what driver’s you’re missing? Maybe I could just add it to my kernel.[/quote]
ok i tested the kernel388core and a kernel you out there at one time called Tom which didn’t work either. I think the issue is just the network card

So my kernel isn’t loading the Intel 825xx drivers? When I get my laptop back I’ll take a look.

It doesn’t seem like it. If i needed to add drivers to the kernel, how do i go about that?

I’ll take a look, because it may be as simple (for me that is) as a firmware addition, rather than a “missing” driver. Let me take a look. However, to “add” drivers to the kernel, normally those checkboxes you saw are how you do it. You click the checkbox to “install” the driver into the kernel.

I actually got it working now…But i meant how can i add a new driver to the collection so it can be installed into the kernel?

That’s more advanced than I know at this point.
