| BenC | mjg59: thanks, however the x86_apic.diff was empty | 01:23 |
|---|---|---|
| mjg59 | Hm. | 01:27 |
| mjg59 | Ok, resent | 01:28 |
| === JaneW [n=JaneW@dsl-146-143-165.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
| BenC | mjg59: do I need to backout your old patch before applying these? | 03:14 |
| mjg59 | BenC: Yup | 03:15 |
| BenC | ok, thanks | 03:15 |
| mjg59 | Oh, hang on | 03:15 |
| mjg59 | No | 03:15 |
| BenC | ok | 03:15 |
| mjg59 | Just apply them as is | 03:15 |
| mjg59 | (I think) | 03:15 |
| mjg59 | The guy with the softmac prism54 vanished before he could tell me what the firmware needed to be called | 03:15 |
| BenC | I'm talking about the ioapic patches | 03:16 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 03:16 |
| mjg59 | I was just mentioning my caveat in the other mail :) | 03:16 |
| BenC | so the disable_timer_pin_1 thing for ATI remains? | 03:16 |
| BenC | ah, ok | 03:16 |
| BenC | I can check the driver file to find that out | 03:16 |
| mjg59 | BenC: disable_timer_pin_1 should still be there (it can be set on boot), but it shouldn't automatically be set anywhere now | 03:18 |
| mjg59 | Instead timer_over_8254 gets set to 0 | 03:18 |
| mjg59 | It's actually the inverse of my original patch | 03:18 |
| BenC | ok, so I need to backout the patch that does that for ATI | 03:18 |
| mjg59 | The one I provided ought to do that | 03:18 |
| mjg59 | - disable_timer_pin_1 = 1; | 03:19 |
| BenC | yeah, it does | 03:19 |
| BenC | I wasn't looking at the x86_64 one, my mistake :) | 03:19 |
| mjg59 | Heh | 03:19 |
| Keybuk | I HATE NETWORK MANAGER | 03:28 |
| Keybuk | that is all | 03:28 |
| Keybuk | :p | 03:28 |
| mjg59 | I'd been getting that impression... | 03:29 |
| mjg59 | What's up with it now? | 03:29 |
| Keybuk | won't play WPA | 03:29 |
| Keybuk | something about NM, WPA and madwifi causes unhapiness | 03:29 |
| Keybuk | I think it's not getting the message that it WORKED | 03:29 |
| Keybuk | so it keeps blacklisting and retrying | 03:29 |
| Keybuk | while the AP log says "Associated" | 03:30 |
| mjg59 | Hm. | 03:30 |
| mjg59 | I'm sure I've seen other people bitching about that. | 03:30 |
| mjg59 | rml sent a patch to the list last week, IIRC | 03:30 |
| Keybuk | yeah lots of bitching, no working | 03:31 |
| Keybuk | I checked the list and we have all the patches | 03:31 |
| Keybuk | without the patch rml sent, even non-WPA doesn't work | 03:31 |
| Keybuk | (because wpa_supplicant fouls up the association, I assume) | 03:31 |
| mjg59 | Right | 03:31 |
| Keybuk | at least normal and WEP work right now | 03:31 |
| mjg59 | And you can connect just using wpa_suppository? | 03:31 |
| Keybuk | so I've declared success and uploaded it | 03:31 |
| Keybuk | yup | 03:31 |
| mjg59 | Fun | 03:32 |
| mjg59 | Probably some exciting timing issue | 03:32 |
| Keybuk | stuck wpa-driver madwifi, wpa-ssid linksys, wpa-pks blahblah in /etc/network/interfaces and that just works | 03:32 |
| mjg59 | Never mind. You've got more broken patches to look forward to. | 03:32 |
| Keybuk | so don't think it's a suppository issue | 03:32 |
| Keybuk | indeed | 03:32 |
| mjg59 | Ah. For an equivalent test, shouldn't you be using the wext driver? | 03:32 |
| mjg59 | Or does nm hardcode it to madwifi? | 03:33 |
| Keybuk | wext doesn't work at all | 03:33 |
| Keybuk | one of rml's patches it to use madwifi | 03:33 |
| Keybuk | without that one, it fails to associate to any AP | 03:33 |
| mjg59 | Right | 03:33 |
| mjg59 | Well, my only madwifi card is in London right now | 03:33 |
| Keybuk | tomorrow I'll get around to installing Umbungo on my Powerbook and test it on that | 03:34 |
| Keybuk | eek out a whole new world of corner case pain | 03:34 |
| mjg59 | How recent is the powerbook? Airport or express? | 03:34 |
| Keybuk | neither | 03:34 |
| mjg59 | Ah | 03:34 |
| Keybuk | pcmcia wireless card | 03:34 |
| mjg59 | Ancient :) | 03:34 |
| Keybuk | Cheap :) | 03:35 |
| mjg59 | Hmm. I worry about the way that the madwifi tree in the prism54_softmac driver source appears to have been mutilated to look like ieee80211_softmac | 03:35 |
| mjg59 | In a "Does this thing actually work with the in-kernel stack?" sort of way | 03:35 |
| Keybuk | heh | 03:37 |
| mjg59 | Well, it /loads/ with it | 03:37 |
| mjg59 | But I don't have the hardware to test | 03:37 |
| mjg59 | Fuckit. We'll see who complains. | 03:37 |
| mjg59 | I'm getting really irritated with people bitching that us shipping a proper bcm43xx driver has broken their ndiswrapper setup | 03:38 |
| mjg59 | BenC: Did that set of bcm patches I sent you apply ok? | 03:38 |
| mjg59 | They ought to get things a lot closer to working out of the box, rather than requiring precise timing... | 03:38 |
| mjg59 | The driver exports a number of sysfs interfaces in | 03:39 |
| mjg59 | /sys/class/islsm/$(DEVICE)/ | 03:39 |
| mjg59 | HNGH. | 03:39 |
| mjg59 | I'm fairly sure that's not the correct approach. | 03:39 |
| Keybuk | evil | 03:47 |
| Keybuk | nothing under /sys/class/net ? | 03:47 |
| mjg59 | Oh, probably | 03:47 |
| Keybuk | if islsm are the "upper" devices, that's not so bad | 03:47 |
| Keybuk | a whole subsystem just for one driver | 03:47 |
| mjg59 | Yeah | 03:47 |
| Keybuk | wooo | 03:47 |
| mjg59 | It's just so you can tweak some values per-interface | 03:48 |
| mjg59 | Which I thought you could do by sticking stuff under the per-device sysfs stuff /anyway/ | 03:48 |
| mjg59 | Since ipw* seem to manage it | 03:48 |
| mjg59 | Ok, looks like it has been ported to softmac | 03:52 |
| mjg59 | Hurrah | 03:52 |

| hub | hi guys, apparently the PPC kernel does not provide the old iBook clamshell or PowerBook G3 modem | 11:22 |
| hub | while there is a kernel module in the tree | 11:22 |
| hub | (used to be in older version) | 11:22 |
| hub | has it just been forgotten? | 11:22 |
| infinity | please file a bug at launchpad.net/malone (package: linux-source-2.6.15) and mention the module that's gone missing. | 11:25 |
| infinity | BenC will no doubt attack it with vigor when he's around. | 11:25 |
| hub | okay. I just wanted to make sure that it was not on purpose | 11:26 |
| hub | a bug will be filed, off course | 11:27 |
| infinity | We don't tend to remove many drivers on purpose. :) | 11:27 |
| infinity | But when we switched to 2.6.15 and upended the packaging completely, some stuff got dropped on the floor, lost, forgotten, etc. | 11:27 |
| hub | I know | 11:27 |
| hub | but sometime it is | 11:27 |
| hub | I understand | 11:27 |
| hub | no problem | 11:28 |
| infinity | Also, xandros.com. Nice. | 11:28 |
| infinity | Don't let anyone from the dccalliance know you're running the evil ubuntu. :) | 11:28 |
| hub | infinity: they know that. I wear ubuntu t-shirt, and I run ubuntu/gnome on my laptop | 11:30 |
| hub | that is the one I'm typing from atm | 11:30 |
| infinity | :) | 11:30 |
| infinity | Even I don't wear Ubuntu t-shirts, and I get 'em for free... | 11:30 |
| infinity | Though maybe that's why I don't wear them. | 11:31 |
| infinity | I don't wear any of my free Microsoft or IBM t-shirts either. Could be a pattern. | 11:31 |
| hub | infinity: I have a t-shirt of my former company atm. it is sort of a competitor | 11:31 |
| hub | I don't wear MSFT t-shirt because I don't want any | 11:32 |
| mjg59 | infinity: I'll wear the brown one when I get low on them, but that's because it's actually a good t-shirt | 11:33 |
| infinity | It is rather nice fabric, yes. Sadly, I popped mine in the dryer without turning it inside out first, and the logo got a bit melted. | 11:34 |
| infinity | Whoops. | 11:34 |
| mjg59 | Nf. Must tidy my room. | 11:34 |
| mjg59 | Maybe I'll also try to fix vga16fb on the craptop | 11:35 |
| hub | mjg59: uh oj vga16fb. was a topic around at the office | 11:36 |
| hub | infinity: I only have on whit t-shirt that I got at ubz | 11:36 |
| hub | filed bug 36499 | 11:37 |
| hub | for the pmac modem | 11:37 |
| mjg59 | hub: Yeah, I brought it up on dcc-devel | 11:38 |
| mjg59 | (due to ACPI not working too well with non-vga16fb) | 11:38 |
| hub | yeah, pat told me that | 11:38 |
| hub | I don't read the dcc mailing list | 11:38 |
| hub | c'ya | 11:52 |
| === hub [n=hub@storm-gw.xandros.com] has left #ubuntu-kernel ["Leaving"] | ||
