6.9.5 GPL not posted.
OOM-9
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/R...
Hi StephenB,
The 6.9.5 GPL zip file has been posted already. You should now be able to download the file.
Regards,
Thanks a lot for the spent time to investigate this. This is a big issue now because that means I have to stay an 6.9.4 on all our devices. Being able to compile custom kernel modules is crucial and was the main reason to go with a Netgear device.
I can only hope Netgear will fix this problem in the future.
Now this really p*sses me off. I tried for like a dozen times to post a solution and no matter what I do all post go straight to moderation.
So I try again.
Success at last. The guy from NTGR support got back to me and hinted me in the right direction. Unfortunatley I can't attach the config.gz file because of the limitations of this forum here, so you have to get the .config file yourself like this:
I didn't know that you could install a subset of the modules built b<y NTGR together with the kernel by simply installing an additional .deb package. Luckily this package also includes the configs.ko kernel module that lets you get to the config of the kernel currently running. So all you have to do to get the config of the currently running kernel is:
ssh into your ReadyNAS (as user root)
cd <where you put the kernel sources> apt update apt install linux-image-extra modprobe configs zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
Works on my machine, ymmv.

For some reason the posts got trapped by the automatic spam filter. I released the most recent one there. The mods are supposed to check it periodically, but they can get behind (and there often is a flood of spam). If this happens again, you can PM me I will release it for you.

OOM-9 : I think it would be useful if config.gz was included in the GPL zip. Or perhaps a readme that includes WhoCares_ procedure?
That's really cool. Works for me as well. Thanks for the all the work!
