I'd try with portage first before posting to b.g.o.
1.5.4 works fine here.

I have this same problem, but for ipw2200. Is there a way to set the ethernet address to allow rtap0 to work? |

Hi,
afaik the ipw2200 driver is similar to the ipw3945 driver. Thus I think you can just take my patches and find the place in the ipw2200.c file to add the two important lines. Recompile the module and be happy

a small patch maybe useful to ext4 users. this allows to mount it as ext4 instead of ext4dev. what about including it in zen-sources?

thanks, Waninkoko,
could you please post the right syntax for merging a local linux-2.6.git repository & the zen-sources repository ?
as told by | Quote: | | git clone --reference /path/to/your/linux-2.6.git/incarnation mirror_URL |
I think I need to reclone zen-sources (conflicted merge ftw !  )
update:
don't bother, got it:
| Code: | | git clone --reference /usr/src/sources/linux-2.6/ git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/zen-sources.git |
git is pretty powerful but needs lots of man(ual) reading

Haven't tried, buit I think so, since the change, that you can't brin up an interface only if it has got a mac address set afaik was introduced with 2.6.24. Thus this should not be limited to zen-sources. I already posted it to the ipw2200 mailing list when posting the patches to the zen-sources thread.

Hi,
I have a ThinkPad t61 with nvidia graphics and Intel hda audio. I've read in the thinkpad_acpi documentation that sound control is supported but I can't get it right.
When I write up/down to /proc/acpi/ibm/volume it is notified there but no volume level difference can be noticed. Also the up/down buttons don't work (and don't produce acpi events even when I use 0xffffffff hotkey mask) except for unmuting. The mute button works ok.
I use newest master-devel.
Does any of you know the solution? |

I can offer bandwidth, I have 11TB per month of transfer with dreamhost. According to this article setting up a git repository should be possible on their servers:
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Git
I can set you guys up with an account to a subdomain or folder where you can manage it. Let me know. |

I haven't tried vanilla in a long time... but if you want I can. Apparently I just need to set the ethernet address for my radio tap interface due to changes in 2.6.24 (although I am sure there were 2.6.23 kernels with the same problem, I just haven't complained about it).
Maybe iwconfig can set the address... checking now.
EDIT: nope. iwconfig doesn't have a MAC address option. ifconfig does, but I get a "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" error and also a Unknown host error. ifconfig instructions are a bit unclear though. |

I compiled snd_hda_intel as a module and set the model in /etc/modules.d/alsa
| Code: |
options snd-hda-intel model=lg
|
That fixed all my volume problems.
I have another problem though: after suspending, there's no sound what-so-ever. I try turning the volume (front, master, pcm, ...) up and down, but still no sound.
Anybody else with such problems? |

With iwl3945 driver I also cannot associate with (at least one) WEP network. The netwerks qou tried were WEP or WPA?
For me that's (and the rtap interface) the reason for staying with the ipw driver...

That's the reason I created the above patches for. They allow setting of the mac address for the rtap interface and set initially a fixed one. Since I didn't find out how to get the real mac address of the card I just set a fixed one...

I was until recently quite happy with the iwlwifi driver, worked like a charm for me. But what is this rtap interface?
I couldn't associate with a WPA network.
Would b nice to get it working again... |
