the /etc get populated with the files in control during install. as for why there’s duplicate, not sure I compile the kernel and tell it to get me a package and there we go duplicate files.
Confirming the package and both methods work for 4g. I’ve switched to cutting edge. There is an error displayed about being unable to generate initramfs, but the kernel appears fine. Uname -r says it’s running.

but it did generate a initramfs file? I saw that error too but it still made one.
Likely since it’s booting in the new kernel. Sadly, I think I need to purchase a third set of batteries. The device dies at 52% after a little over 3 hours. The batteries’ protection circuit may be tripping?
I’m searching the forum for confirmed run times and links to batteries without conjecture based on an applet.
I get about 4-5 hours in my DevTerm, I bought some cheap Samsung batteries from a vape store. $6ea. I’m not sure they’re real though. If I use my thermal printer below 80% my DevTerm will just die. They don’t like that high power draw.
Is there any way to get a matching Kernel Header?
I need to install some drivers and there is no way to find a matching header with any of the Images for uconsole.
With *sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) i always get a error.
You can download and compile the kernel from my GitHub for the headers if you need them now. I about to compile 6.9.1 and I can get you the headers for that kernel or I can get you the headers for 6.6.31 when I compile it tomorrow. The kernel stuff you’re trying to install won’t work with these devices.
Im still trying to install drivers for alfa wireless dongles and still hitting the Kernel Header barrier. 
But i would be more than thankful to get a working Kernel with matching headers for the Uconsole.
This gadget is the best base for a “Cyberdek” i could imagine.
I already integrated a RJ45 network dongle and USB-Hub in this little device.
I’ll make headers and image package for you tomorrow.
I plan on stuffing a few things inside myself you mind sharing a few pic of your mods?

That would be great. 
Shure i will share some pics if i soldered the additionally usb ports hopefully tomorrow.
I try to integrate a additionally alfa wireless dongle for monitor mode possibilities.
@Rex the first method is working by using sudo service uconsole-4g-cm4 start. But the second method is not working for me by putting the file in /usr/bin and as I’m getting the below error. @SandDanGlokta, is the command line correct for chmod?
alok@uconsole:~ $ chmod +x uconsole-4g enable
chmod: cannot access 'uconsole-4g': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access 'enable': No such file or directory
With sudo I’m getting below.
alok@uconsole:~ $ uconsole-4g enable
-bash: /usr/bin/uconsole-4g: Permission denied
(BTW, I’m only a above avg user so it is possible that I have made a mistake.)
if you got it from the repo it should already be executable but if got from the mega link you need to chmod the file not the command. sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/uconsole-4g or do sudo apt install uconsole-4g to get from the repo any updates that get made later.

I got it from mega link and its not working as the modem is not powering on. I’m not that advance so I’m dont how to use your repo.
`alok@uconsole:~ $ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/uconsole-4g
alok@uconsole:~ $`
Once you’ve made it executable run the uconsole-4g enable
For the repo If you’re on the v3 image it’s already there just sudo apt update & sudo apt install uconsole-4g

New stable & bleeding edge kernels available in the repo or upgrade thought APT.
Kernels 6.6.31 & 6.9.1
If you get an initramfs error after upgrade run update-initramfs -c -k 6.6.30-v8+ or update-initramfs -c -k 6.9.1-v8+ depending on what you’re running to rebuild the initramfs file you’ll still get an error but it will build. next kernel release it should be fixed.

Threw a Kali image together last night with the new kernel for anyone who wants it, its in the mega link in the OP. I just put it the kernel in to it so no real love shown to the image, but if you want it mess around with there it is.

Wait. Doesn’t the Kali kernel come with modifications to make some of its tools work properly? What kernel did you base your 6.9 6.6 kernel on?
yes kali is heavily modified but someone wanted kali with a updated kernel and header so they could install custom wifi drivers so i threw one together real quick its using the 6.6.31 kernel I’ve compiled. I just put it up here if anyone else just wanted to mess around with.
I didn’t add my repo for updates or anything to it and won’t be providing anything for it. The only image I stand by working for now is the bookworm image and possibly the FreeBSD image when I’m done with it.
