[12:50] <jguenth> Is the Ubuntu-kernel used by Dapper somehow patched?
[12:50] <jguenth> I want to compile 2.6.17 from kernel.org and wonder if there will be any problems?
[01:28] <infinity> It's patched a fair bit, yes.  There's also no guarantee that newer kernels will work with udev and other fun tools.
[01:29] <infinity> And the 2.6.17rc series bumped the WEXT version, so some wireless tools will refuse to work with it.
[01:40] <jguenth> and can I get the ubuntu-patched versions of newer kernels from somewhere?
[01:41] <jguenth> I only found 2.6.15 in the repositories.
[01:47] <mjg59> No
[01:48] <jguenth> k
[01:48] <jguenth> ok
[01:49] <mjg59> Sorry about that
[01:49] <mjg59> Why do you need 2.6.17?
[01:50] <jguenth> There should be a working native linux-driver for my wlan card (dell truemobile 1300 / bcm43xx) in it.
[01:50] <jguenth> But it works with ndiswrapper now also.
[01:50] <mjg59> It's in our kernel
[01:51] <jguenth> and I had a problem inserting the i8k module with my Dell M60.
[01:51] <jguenth> But that is fine now (used force=1 with modprobe).
[01:51] <mjg59> I'm amazed if i8k works at all on newer hardware
[01:51] <jguenth> yes it is working now like a charme.
[01:51] <jguenth> can witch my fans on and of with i8kmon now again.
[01:53] <jguenth> and have working suspend to ram and suspend to disk out of the box is really impressive.
