Sorry if this has been discussed to death, but I couldn't find anything about it..
I was thinking this morning about the problems we face with newer versions of Android. Often we have to wait for a vendor to release new firmware in order to get a kernel module blob thats compiled for a newer version of Linux. Wrappers are nothing new for Linux - the NDIS wrapper has been the only way to get support for some network devices. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to make a general wrapper to support loading a kernel module for an older kernel into a newer kernel?
