RN102 CD-ROM suport (kernel module sd_mod or sr_mod)

 Hi,

As I know CD-ROM is not supported by current software (kernel).

Is any way to use CD-ROM with ReadynasOS?

 

I checked in various ways and pelase find below how RN102 is detecting my USB-DVD:

1)

 

root@nas-36-0D-9D:~# wodim --devices

I heart that if I get module and copy into correct place, kernel starts to detect my USB-DVD. Does sbd have a 'sr' or 'sd' module for kernel 4.4? 

 I'm trying to compile this module using manual:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Community-Add-ons/HOW-TO-Compile-Custom-Kernel-Modules/td-p/864234

but still get some problems, Is any easier way?

    Can you provide the dmesg output after trying to load the kernel module you built?

      I didn't try load module yet. I still meet the problems with VM and compiling kernel.

      I wanted to ask, is any other way to load module? Maybe somebody already compiled and and share. If not I will try till I solve problems.
