</span>Why 4.8? That too is a totally unsupported kernel version.<br>
<br>
Anyway, randomly pulling in a driver from a newer by many years, if not<br>
almost a decade old (2.6.32 was released in 2009), is a very difficult<br>
task, and usually almost impossible to go that far back. That is not<br>
how Linux is developed or meant to be worked with at all.<br>
<br>
You are _really_ on your own here, only do this if you _really_ know<br>
what you are doing. Even then, I would not recommend you do this, as<br>
you are guaranteeing to create a monstrosity that only you can support,<br>
for forever, on your own.<br>
<br>
good luck!<br>
