-# Quectel Linux USB Driver
+# Quectel USB Driver Enhancements — Linux 6.12
 
-Out-of-tree and in-kernel-patch drivers for Quectel cellular modems, organized by Linux kernel LTS version.
+Out-of-tree build support and in-kernel patches for comprehensive Quectel
+modem support on Linux kernel **6.12**.
 
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# 1. Find your kernel version
-uname -r    # e.g. 5.15.0-100-generic
-
-# 2. Checkout the matching branch
-git clone https://github.com/bacnh85/Quectel_Linux_USB_Driver.git
-cd Quectel_Linux_USB_Driver
-git checkout v5.15    # use your major.minor version
-
-# 3. Follow the README.md on that branch
-```

-## What's in Each Branch
-
-All driver sources are **upstream Linux kernel code** enhanced with Quectel device IDs backported from kernel 6.12.
-
-```
-drivers/usb/serial/option.c     ← enhanced with all Quectel USB serial IDs
-drivers/usb/serial/usb_wwan.c   ← upstream (no Quectel-specific changes)
-drivers/usb/serial/usb-wwan.h   ← upstream header
-drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c      ← enhanced with all Quectel QMI IDs
-patches/option.c.patch           ← diff: vanilla → enhanced (for in-kernel)
-patches/qmi_wwan.c.patch         ← diff: vanilla → enhanced (for in-kernel)
-Makefile                         ← out-of-tree module build
-```
+## Quick Start
 
-## Two Build Methods
+### Out-of-Tree Build (Recommended)
 
-### Method 1: Out-of-Tree (Recommended)
 ```bash
-make && sudo make install
-sudo modprobe option qmi_wwan
+make KDIR=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
+sudo make install
+sudo depmod -a
 ```
 
-### Method 2: In-Kernel Patch
+### In-Kernel Patch
+
 ```bash
-cd /path/to/kernel-source
-patch -p1 < /path/to/Quectel_Linux_USB_Driver/patches/option.c.patch
+cd /path/to/linux-6.12
+patch -p1 < patches/option.c.patch
+patch -p1 < patches/qmi_wwan.c.patch
 ```
