BenClamont-away: they need a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE03:55

BenCmkrufky: nice patch :)03:59
lamont-awayBenC: tulip has a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE... now I just need to figure out what glue is missing... :-(05:48

fabbione(you still need the target dir)06:28
fabbionelamont-away: i use tulip i think... 06:28
fabbionehm no06:30
fabbionelamont-away: there are 3 bits required for hotplugging iirc06:30
fabbionethe MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE06:30
fabbioneis one of them..06:31
fabbioneyeah06:32
fabbioneyou also need something like:06:32
fabbionestatic struct pci_driver vortex_driver = {06:32
fabbione        .name           = "3c59x",06:32
fabbione        .probe          = vortex_init_one,06:32
fabbione        .remove         = __devexit_p(vortex_remove_one),06:32
fabbione        .id_table       = vortex_pci_tbl,06:32
fabbione#ifdef CONFIG_PM06:33
fabbione        .suspend        = vortex_suspend,06:33
fabbione        .resume         = vortex_resume,06:33
fabbione#endif06:33
fabbione};06:33
fabbionebut they are all there06:34
fabbionefor the tulip driver06:34
lamont-awayright. hence it's further up, where arch-specific stuff can get in the way06:34
fabbionelamont-away: is it only network drivers that don't autoload?06:38
fabbioneor only specifically the tulip?06:38
lamont-awayfabbione: dunno - haven 't really tested things that much yet..06:41
fabbioneoh ok06:41
fabbionelamont-away: btw.. do i get it right that the hppa guys did (finally) export the hppa tree in git for main inclusion?06:44
fabbionebecause with the new git approach we will need to keep the hppa patch still separate :/06:45
fabbioneand it sorts of sucks :P06:45
lamont-awayfabbione: dunno06:50
lamont-awayI do know that I need to sleep, though. :-(06:50
fabbioneeheh good night lamont :)06:56

slomohi... can we get the bcm43xx (airport extreme, etc) driver for dapper? you can get it at http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ but i don't know how usable it is currently... i'll get a airport extreme from a friend next week to test it12:39
fabbioneslomo: file an enanchment bug on bugzilla please12:39
slomook12:40
slomofiled against linux-meta?12:42

slomook... #1827912:46
mjg59slomo: It's not currently usable 01:58
mjg59It gives you access to the registers on the card, it doesn't control the radio yet01:58
slomomjg59: ok, good to know :)02:00
Lathiatslomo: it doesnt actually work yet02:07
Lathiatat lesat02:07
Lathiatit didnt a couple days ago02:07
Lathiatyes02:08
Lathiatnote the big fat notice on the homepage :)02:08
Lathiati think their close tho, so might happen dapper timeframe02:08

boteinWill there be a openafs-module in restricted-modules?07:17
infinityErm, why would it be in restricted-modules?... OpenAFS is free.07:36
infinitySee openafs-modules-source in universe.07:37
boteinmmh. ok. Will it be in the regular modules?07:42
dilingeri'd like to get it in the kernel proper09:28
=== dilinger will be bringing that up during ubz
infinityI assume from the existence of a working "modules-source" package, that it's completely isolated, out-of-tree stuff, so adding it to the kernel build wouldn't disrupt anything else?09:42
infinityIf so, I don't know if I see the point in "bringing it up", just push a patch to BenC.09:42
infinityPush said patch NOW, while he's preparing the first 2.6.14-pre uploads, and we'll get testing before UBZ starts, if all goes well.09:43
dilingerwell... 09:45
dilinger1.4.0rc7 is supposed to be the last release before 1.4.0 proper09:45
dilingerdunno if it's worth getting testing of the RC before UBZ09:45
infinityRight, so that seem a good fit to team up with 2.6.14-rc :)09:46
dilingerit's certainly worth starting to work on separating stuff out now, though09:46
dilingerthe module source package includes a lot of crap, i think only like 10% of it is relevant to the actual kernel module09:46
infinityWoo.09:47
Lathiatdilinger: 'kernel proper' ?10:09
Lathiatopenafs is !gpl compatible (at least so i read)10:09
dilingerLathiat: i mean the kernel package proper :P10:33
Lathiatah10:34
dilingersay, has anyone managed to get breezy booting off sx8 devices?10:34
dilingerthe installer doesn't recognize it as a disk, and neither grub nor lilo seem to know how to handle it10:35
