| MiHu | Hi. Anybody from the kernel team already awake? | 08:37 |
| MiHu | 8-) | 08:37 |
| asac | hmm ... iwl3945 driver somehow claims to not support scan_capa. is that correct or did we miss a patch for that driver somewhere? | 10:52 |
| asac | (well from what i can tell it supports scan_capa) | 10:52 |
| MiHu | A few days ago I reported bug #201197. On 2007-05-17, Ben Collins removed my driver called "MXB" from the list of modules to be build. I think there was a misunderstanding which of my drivers supports which kind of hardware. Is anybody willing to discuss this issue with me now? | 12:35 |

| BenC | Good morning ppl | 12:57 |
| MiHu | BenC == Ben Collins? | 12:58 |
| BenC | yes | 12:59 |
| MiHu | Great. Hi. Can you please have a look at bug #201197 I filed a few days ago? | 12:59 |

| BenC | MiHu: reading... | 13:03 |
| BenC | MiHu: Ok, sounds reasonable, I'll look into getting it reverted | 13:22 |

| MiHu | BenC, One problem is that some of the saa7146 devices don't have proper subsystem/subvendor ids. So I think they need to be blacklisted against autoloading first. Otherwise it can happen that one of the drivers (for example hexium_orion) captures somebody elses TV card, depending which modules gets loaded first. I think the only sane way is to let the user load the appropriate moduel manually. | 13:27 |
| BenC | MiHu: since you seem to know a lot about this, can you add proper suggestions to the bug report? | 13:28 |
| BenC | I'd be guessing | 13:28 |
| MiHu | BenC: No problem, since I'm the author of most of these drivers I should know. 8-) It's just that I did not receive any feedback so far, so I did not know if somebody was looking into this. | 13:28 |
| MiHu | benc: Is module blacklisting done via /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist? If so, do you know the people from the module-init-tools package? | 13:29 |
| alex_joni | where can I find instructions for building a lum package for a custom kernel? | 13:41 |
| MiHu | benc: I did some experiments. I installed the linux sources, enabled the MXB in the .config, build mxb.ko, copied it to the right place, depmod -a, then reboot. The card is recognised and everything works as expected. | 15:12 |
| MiHu | BenC: I'll add this to the bug report. It would be great if that card would be supported with the next update again. | 15:12 |
| MiHu | BenC: Perhaps you can assign this bug report to yourself or somebody else. Do you need a patch for the .config? Please tell me if anything is missing. | 15:13 |
| BenC | MiHu: great, thanks for testing...just include the correct config option for us to change | 15:14 |
| MiHu | BenC: I updated the description for bug 201197. Is there already a new release planned for the kernel package? | 15:26 |

| BenC | MiHu: Not planned, but we'll have to see how things go after the beta | 15:26 |
| MiHu | BenC: Ok. This is not critical, only a handful of users are using this card and they are all lazy updaters. Just like me... | 15:27 |
| MiHu | BenC: I played around with launchpad, hopefully the bug is now assigned to you. | 16:17 |
