Hi gud day,

I would like to ask if possible to load the driver i compiled module without installing it in the ubuntu-kernel-distro/updates* or simple not executing "make install". what i mean is i compile the compat wireless driver using make and i want to try to load
on the system without installing "make install"

Is it possible, thanks in advance for the possible answer.

If your question is really "is it possible to load modules from directories other than the standard ones (/lib/modules/v, where v is your kernel version)?", then yes. You can use insmod to do this, but be aware that you'll have to resolve any module dependencies yourself.
