Improvements to the installation procedure

[DDvO]

Thanks a lot for providing this module!

I just found that something was missing to make the use of the module permanent - here is an extended list of commands:

make
sudo make install
sudo depmod -A
sudo modprobe xmm7360_usb
echo xmm7360_usb | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

I've used an alias to make udev load it for me, but I used the alias specific to my computer just in case it causes problems for anyone, I guess I could make it more generic.

Just out of curiosity, what does lspci -nnvd 8086:7360 say on your computer?

[DDvO]

lspci -nnvd 8086:7360 yields here:

3b:00.0 Wireless controller [0d40]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:7360] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
	!!! Unknown header type 7f
	Kernel driver in use: xmm7360_usb

P53 hardware is different I think -

Note, the Modem complains parent not active, since of course, we broke the link.

Not sure why I'm still not getting a USB device...

Actually I was thinking about lspci -nnvd 8086:7360 after unloading the module first, otherwise it doesn't give much info. But I guess I could make the module alias itself to everything 8086:7360 to avoid the need to update /etc/modules

DKMS - need to build properly for "UEFI/LockDown"

1. Make sure the source is in /usr/src/$MODULE_NAME-$MODULE_VERSION
2. cd /var/lib/dkms
3. dkms add $MODULE_NAME/$MODULE_VERSION
4. dkms build $MODULE_NAME/$MODULE_VERSION
5. dkms intall $MODULE_NAME/$MODULE_VERSION

Example:
cat /usr/src/xmm7360_usb-1.0/dkms.conf

Here's the dkms.conf for "xmm7360_usb" - it's really generic.

MAKE="make -C./ KERNELDIR=/lib/modules/${kernelver}/build"
CLEAN="make -C./ clean"
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=xmm7360_usb
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=./
PACKAGE_NAME=xmm7360_usb
PACKAGE_VERSION=1.0
REMAKE_INITRD=no
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION="/kernel/drivers/misc"
ATUOINSTALL="yes"

@juhovh, makes sense. Here it is:
