Hi Johannes, Unless using mac80211, which require v3.10 current backports still support kernel v3.0 right? Thanks for info.

In that case, I will send an updated patch that will raise the minimal kernel version requirement to 3.10. Thanks! Julien.

Attempting to compile this package with newer Kernel version (e.g. v5.4) fails with message: Generating local configuration database from kernel ...Kernel version parse failed! Upgrading the package to 5.8 fixes this issue. Anyways, v4.4 is now rather old and beat the very purpose of having newer drivers in older kernels. Note that since backports tag v4.14-rc4-1, the requirement on minimal kernel version changed from 3.0 to 3.10. See commit [1].
