I haven't used backprorts for years but I don't think you can use latest backports on older kernels (eg backports tag v4.14-rc4-1 on v4.9 kernel). So if you use v4.14-rc4-1 tag you can only use v4.14 kernel source to generate the backports package. But backports list can help you better: https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Mailing_list Ah, but I see from the archives that you asked there already. -- Kalle Valo _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list ath10k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
