| asac | http://paste.ubuntu.com/3571/ <- "update of the scan | 10:00 |
| asac | capability patch" | 10:00 |
| asac | do we have that as well? | 10:00 |
| aantipop | is there a reason for linux-generic pointing to 2.6.24-3 and not to -4 ? | 10:16 |
| Mithrandir | aantipop: yes, we change it by hand when we want to push people to a new revision. (And I uploaded that change about 30 minutes ago) | 10:21 |
| aantipop | thanks for the info | 10:21 |

| bdmurray | BenC: ping | 17:04 |
| BenC | bdmurray: hey | 17:04 |
| bdmurray | BenC: A bit ago I noticed there are 2 kernel teams in Launchpad and I wanted to get them consolidated. I submitted a question about it - https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/12069 - and it seems like we are at a point where it can be done | 17:05 |
| BenC | bdmurray: problem is, kernel-team is created automatically by launchpad when we upload packages...I tried to resolve this awhile back, but I gave up trying to keep it that way | 17:07 |
| BenC | bdmurray: it comes from the fact that our email address is kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com, but we don't want to use this as the team email for ubuntu-kernel-team, since it means all bug traffic will go there | 17:07 |
| bdmurray | BenC: Okay, that makes a bit of sense. Can mailman filter e-mail based on the headers though - like the assignee? | 17:09 |
| BenC | bdmurray: not sure | 17:09 |
| BenC | bdmurray: what I need, and I think I asked for this from lp folks, is to be able to have a team email address (mailing list), but still have all team related emails sent to team members instead of the mailing list | 17:10 |
| voraistos | hi. my question not exactly kernel dev related, but maybe someone here can tell me what drivers are being used by the default ubuntu kernel for broadcom wifi cards ? | 17:14 |
| bdmurray | BenC: Okay, its been quite a while since I asked that question, but I think my concern was finding packages (and their bugs) maintained by the kernel team. As both teams have packages. | 17:14 |
| voraistos | the kernel is 2.6.22 and i cant remember if the new versions of the drivers are being used or what. | 17:15 |
| voraistos | bcm43xx b43, b43legacy | 17:15 |
| BenC | voraistos: bcm43xx | 17:15 |
| voraistos | ok thank you | 17:15 |
| voraistos | this sucks though :( | 17:15 |
| BenC | using bcm43xx sucks in many ways | 17:16 |
| BenC | and I mean the hardware, not the driver | 17:16 |
| voraistos | well, it cant load the firmware, so the hardware doesnt work much :( | 17:16 |
| BenC | voraistos: in reality, the best way to use broadcom 43xx wireless is with ndiswrapper | 17:16 |
| BenC | voraistos: download the firmware then | 17:16 |
| voraistos | oh | 17:17 |
| voraistos | but i did | 17:17 |
| voraistos | i think i will do it all manually | 17:17 |
| voraistos | is the firmware located in /lib/firmware or was it patched so it goes somewhere else ? | 17:17 |
| BenC | voraistos: install bcm43xx-fwcutter package...it handles everything | 17:18 |
| voraistos | i know | 17:18 |
| voraistos | i just paid a visit to /lib/fimware | 17:18 |
| voraistos | it seems it installed the wrong one | 17:18 |
| BenC | Ok, I can't answer that problem | 17:19 |
| voraistos | probably a bug in the software that does things automatically | 17:19 |
| BenC | complain to broadcom for not supporting linux drivers :) | 17:19 |
| voraistos | but i do :P | 17:19 |
| voraistos | they just dont care ! | 17:19 |
| BenC | or use ndiswrapper, or keeping mucking around with manual firmware install | 17:19 |
| voraistos | those $%^&**&^% | 17:19 |
| BenC | voraistos: then support intel wireless...they rock and deserve your purchase | 17:19 |
| voraistos | i was thinking about geting an atheros | 17:20 |
| voraistos | however my sis bought a laptop with an atheros card and i took me ages to get support for it | 17:20 |
| voraistos | the drivers didnt exist at first, then only an unstable incomplete one existed | 17:21 |
| voraistos | i used to have an intel one, but its not compatible with my new laptop | 17:21 |
| voraistos | ill fill in a bug report on whatever the automatic firmware installer is called, if bug there is. | 17:23 |
| BenC | voraistos: bcm43xx-fwcutter is unsupported (universe), and has border-line legal issues, so I wouldn't expect much | 17:23 |
| voraistos | is it a good idea to install a recent vanilla kernel on ubuntu? or will i loose functionality ? the splash screen is not a functionality btw. | 17:24 |
| BenC | voraistos: it's not a good idea, no | 17:24 |
| BenC | voraistos: because then we wont answer any of your questions, and we can't even guess what will happen | 17:24 |
| voraistos | is there a documentation page on what modifications are made to the kernel ? | 17:24 |
| BenC | voraistos: not a concise document, no, just the changelog, and the git history | 17:25 |
| voraistos | ok | 17:25 |
| voraistos | thank you BenC | 17:25 |
| voraistos | as you stated before, getting a real driver -with still a damn firmware- to at least handle hardware decryption would be best i think | 17:26 |
| voraistos | thank you again fro your help | 17:26 |

| ph8 | Hi all - i'm running the xen version of 2.6.22-14(-xen) and i'm having a massive problem with realtek NICs - the mac address shows up as FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF | 23:31 |
| ph8 | which means that bridging (and hence virtual machine hosting) doesn't work! | 23:31 |
| ph8 | has anyone got any idea how i can fix this? I know there's a bug report in but it seems a bit stagnant | 23:31 |
