--- Comment #12 from Guillaume Outters <guillaume-free...@outters.eu> ---
(In reply to Bjoern A. Zeeb from comment #10)

I would be glad to add my laptop to the test battery,
but I will need a bit of guidance on how a total newbie can run this patched
driver (until now I only used FreeBSD on preinstalled dedicated servers, or on
VirtualBox guests).

Ideally I'd test it live, with a bit of kldunload / kldload, remaking only in
modules/rtw88 and modules/linuxkpi_wlan.
However, this only works for if_rtw88.ko (ifconfig wlan0 down ; kldunload
if_rtw88.ko ; kldload
/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/modules/rtw88/if_rtw88.ko ; sleep 1 ; ifconfig
wlan0 up)
On the other hand, the linuxkpi_wlan.ko materialized in /boot/kernel seems to
be an empty shell, because kldload rejects it with a dmesg telling it's already
part of the kernel (where I find the "skb allocation failed" string by the
way).
But in the GENERIC conf for the kernel, I see no dedicated setting for
linuxkpi_wlan, only the main COMPAT_LINUXKPI switch that certainly should not
go away.

Do I have any other way than compiling a full kernel to test the linuxkpi_wlan
part?

I'd be grateful for any link for an "how-to get linuxkpi_wlan out of the
kernel, to a module". Or a simple "no way" so that I go recompile my world
without discuss^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hloosing my and your time anymore.
