git checkout 9361 (hopefully that is enough of the commit id)

You should really try to do a git bisect to figure out which is the
commit that broke your build. Details on how to do that is on

Also, to figure out which driver you use, you need to run "ifstat" and
take note of the driver name mentioned.
