6.9.5 GPL not posted.
https://kb.netgear.com/2649/NETGEAR-Open-Source-Code-for-Programmers-GPL has a link to 6.9.5 GPL, but the zip itself hasn't been posted yet. https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GPL/ReadyNASOS_V6.9.5_WW_src.zip gives a "file not found" error.
Can you all get that posted?
Thx.
Hi StephenB,
The 6.9.5 GPL zip file has been posted already. You should now be able to download the file.

Looks like the kernel .config for x86_64 (didn't test ARM yet) contained in the 6.9.5 GPL archive is broken. At least I'm unable to even run a simple "make clean && make && sudo make modules_install" and get the modules compiled to load into the running kernel. They'll all abort with "Exec format error". It would be great if a fixed .config could be posted or the GPL archive updated with a working .config file ;)

Same here. I tried to use the generic kernel sources from kernel.org but had the same effect, which would lead me to agree that either it is the .config file that is incorrect, or the kernel is not actually the version reported in uname. I also tried the .config files from 6.9.3 and 6.9.4 but had no better luck with either set of sources, so I'm at a loss to determine exactly what's wrong with the sources. I rolled back to 6.9.4 and accompanying source and Virtualbox drivers compiled fine.
Hoping for a good source archive for 6.10 or a fixed 6.9.5 if possible.
I'm in contact with NTGR. What they told me is:
* Due to a change in their build environment the kernels shipping with the firmware 6.9.5 and newer are no longer compatible with modules you build from the GPL sourcces
* The suggested workaround is to not only install the modules but also the kernel as well. I tested this and it works but I don't really like it
* Thanks to NTGR I received a copy of their new build env and I'll see whether I can make that one work again for general usage
I'll keep you posted on my progress.
