I purchased recently ¡°Asus P5B Deluxe with WiFi¡±.

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-494931.html

Finally I downloaded
-- post-r1 release of „small gentoo¡° (x86) --
from http://tinyurl.com/mvm7d
I was using prescott architecture, so I just copied some files to boot
System.map-genkernel-x86-2.6.18-mm1
initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.18-mm1
kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.18-mm1

Now it's time to compile my own kernel.
If anyone is already using this motherboard and has configured successfully every devices, please post your kernel config.

I emerged mm-sources-2.6.18-r3

Maybe SCSI CDROM or generic support are not needed, just in case.
I don't have any IDE drive attached right now, so can't test JMicron PATA.
At least, I could successfully boot the machine with ICH8 SATA(writing this with).

Another problem:

The kernel doesn't have any option for Winbond W83627DHG.
I tried ¡°w83627ehf¡± module, but no success.

It seems to have Realtek RTL8187 chipset - USB 802.11(a)/b/g
http://www.realtek.com.tw/
From HOME > Downloads > Communications Network ICs > Wireless LAN ICs
> WLAN NIC > IEEE 802.11a/b/g > MAC/BBP > Software
You can just try:
Problem: Kernel newer than 2.6.18 has a bug.
mm1,mm2,mm3,19-rc1,19-rc2 are all affected, so maybe later.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149307
Likewise, you can't emerge packages like nvidia-kernel, vmware-modules, etc...
Solution: https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=100051&action=view
| Code: | # USE=symlink emerge =sys-kernel/mm-sources-2.6.19_rc2-r1
# cd /usr/src/linux
# cat pathto/as-instr-sandbox-fix-2.6.19_rc2-mm1.patch | patch -p1 |
This solution doesn't work. Don't waste your time
linux-2.6.19_rc2-mm2 still has the same bug
This command also failed. Is not the sandbox problem???
| Code: | | FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge rtl8187 |

@hamletmun: were you able to use the rtl8187 as a access point ?
i got my p5b yesterday and this thread is just what i needed, thanks!
edit: typo ;/

You are welcome. Never talked to an Artificial Intelligence. Just a joke. 
We are in a dilema. We need >2.6.18 because of libata, ICH8 and JMicron
Then the bug appears preventing us from compiling external modules.
Maybe we should take 2.6.18 vanilla kernel and patch it for ourselves.
kernel+libata+sky2 then emerge rtl8187
Or maybe we should try one of the many kernels mentioned in above forums.
Let me know once you load successfully all the modules this mobo needs.
Happy hacking!!! |

haha to be true ai means love in japanese ^^ nothing artificial here
i installed ArchLinux (kernel is 2.6.18-ARCH) on a SATA disc and booted it without a problem. I have one PATA drive that works fine too. The second ethernet adapter is not recognized properly but works :

|
the driver you mentioned for the rtl8187 works fine too. The instalation was easy, and the scripts work fine.

right now i'm trying to understand the whole know-how about APs and WiFi (which i have never used before). But it seems to me that there is not much left to be configured.
how about 2.6.19_rc2 which is already in ~x86 ?

wlan is working fine, but i was not able to put the rtl8187 into master mode. I had to buy another card to set a acces point up ;(
Everything else seems to be fine. IDE is working fine aswell

I am not in a hurry.
My only wireless device is palm lifedrive and I usually use my usb cable to sync.
I am just happy with SATA, IDE, LAN1, LAN2, AUDIO working fine with mm-sources-2.6.18-r3
mm-sources-2.6.19_rc2-r2 seems to have a bug in network file system.
I couldn't copy files properly from linux to windows.
Any way, never liked Release Candidate versions 
I will post again if I can just emerge default packages without introducing any patches or special keywords. |

Hi,
I am getting real problems with USB on this board. The write speed to my usb stick is about 30kbps which is driving me crazy. Did you have any experience on writing to USB sticks on this board?
Can you please post your .config somewhere so i can compare it with mine? I am on kernel 2.6.19-r4.
Thanks |

Ensure you're using USB2. USB1 is terribly slow. In the kernel config:
| Code: | CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y |

I have only enabled the module uhci-hcd
If you enable ehci-hcd, you will not gonna be able to sync palm in vmware.
At least, I couldn't do that with my LifeDrive.
(Don't know the reason, but uhci-hcd is just enough to use with memory sticks) |
