[08:17] <Wellark> hi! is the new hso-driver included in the intrepid kernels?
[08:17] <Wellark> http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/919938?page=last
[09:01] <cking> Wellark: the hso-driver is not in the current intrepid kernel source
[09:02] <Wellark> cking: is it going to be included?
[09:03] <Wellark> I'm working on network-manager and there are devices that need that driver
[09:04] <amitk_> Wellark: we are still contemplating if Ubuntu will carry 2.6.27 for intrepid. If that happens, hso is already there.
[09:04] <amitk_> currently we are at 2.6.26, but we have a 2.6.27-rc tree called ubuntu-next available for testing if you need.
[09:04] <Wellark> but if you decide to stick with .26 will the hso-driver be included?
[09:05] <Wellark> or is it too early to tell?
[09:05] <amitk_> Wellark: it could be backported if it is a single driver. Wait another week to check if we make the move (probably will). Otherwise ping us again.
[09:08] <Wellark> ok. great!
[09:23] <tjaalton> does ubuntu-next work with DKMS/nvidia?
[09:29] <tjaalton> apparently it should
[09:41] <tjaalton> wow, my laptop stays suspended with .27-rc3
[09:41] <tjaalton> unlike with .26 where it resumes right away
[09:52] <amitk_> tjaalton: looks like we have another supported for 2.6.27 :)
[09:53] <amitk_> *supporter
[09:56] <Wellark> what's the main concern about .27? not enough testing?
[10:03] <amitk_> Wellark: that fact that .27 will probably get released _very_ close to our freeze
[10:05] <Wellark> just send Linus an email.. :P
[10:16] <amitk_> :D
[11:37] <tjaalton> amitk: indeed :)
[13:15] <TommyBJ> Will the kernel for intrepid be .27 or .26 ? 
[13:15] <_ruben> not decided yet
[13:17] <TommyBJ> Aha. When is this decision due?
[13:19] <_ruben> within a week i think
[13:19] <TommyBJ> Ok. Thanks :)
[13:24] <Wellark> just add it to topic already :)
[13:35] <TommyBJ> :>
[13:48] <Edulix> hello
[13:48] <Edulix> anyone knows something if similar to this: http://www.bitwizard.nl/remote_devices/ is being worked on nowadays? :P
[13:49] <Edulix> for webcams specifically
[13:50] <Edulix> uhm I should probably better ask in ##kernel
[14:52] <BenC> So far I have not seen one Nay on 2.6.27 for intrepid
[14:57] <zul> rtg: those xen patches are targeted for 2.6.27 assuming that it goes into intrepid
[14:57] <zul> BenC: only one?
[14:57] <BenC> zul: I've seen none
[14:58] <rtg> BenC: well, you know I'm in favor 'cause I'm thinking about how to get 2.6.27 into Hardy.
[14:59] <laga> BenC: did you have a change to review aufs?
[14:59] <smb_tp> While I am not so sure about 2.6.27 in Hardy, I think it a good ideao for Intrepid
[14:59] <BenC> laga: Yeah, going to sync it
[14:59] <laga> BenC: using my patch or from upstream?
[15:00] <zul> rtg: it would make life so much easier for somethings
[15:00] <BenC> laga: yours
[15:00] <laga> yay
[15:00] <BenC> I guess now's a good time to install 2.6.27 on my laptop
[15:01] <rtg> BenC: I'm test building -rc4. Shall I push the rebase if it compiles?
[15:03] <BenC> rtg: I've already rebased it locally and pushed
[15:03] <rtg> BenC: I must have just missed it.
[15:03] <BenC> Forgot to push the -rc4 tag, so coming
[15:07] <BenC> rtg, smb_tp, cking, amitk: I think I'm going to assume that 2.6.27 will be going into intrepid and start preparing a package for upload
[15:08] <rtg> BenC: works for me.
[15:08] <cking> BenC: ditto
[15:08] <smb_tp> BenC, good for me too
[15:11] <poningru> hey quick question, how can I have a particular upstream driver updated?
[15:11] <poningru> namely madwifi
[15:11] <poningru> err as in updated in linux-restricted-modules
[15:11] <BenC> crazy...BSD alone is not GPL compatible to the kernel
[15:12] <amitk> BenC: \0/
[15:12] <poningru> the latest madwifi supports a class of netbooks that a lot of people would like to convert to ubuntu
[15:12] <BenC> poningru: madwifi is the latest upstream release
[15:12] <poningru> in hardy?
[15:12] <BenC> yes
[15:12] <BenC> we aren't syncing to svn repo
[15:12] <amitk> poningru: you probably need something from the madwifi trunk, not the release
[15:12] <poningru> yeah ofcourse
[15:13] <poningru> amitk, no iirc the latest from stable is the working one
[15:13] <poningru> its aspire one btw
[15:13] <poningru> checking
[15:15] <BenC> poningru: I'd test 2.6.27 and see if the ath5k/ath9k driver works for you
[15:15] <BenC> we are likely ditching madwifi to support those drivers instead
[15:15] <poningru> SWEET
[15:15] <poningru> cause I am pretty sure ath9k works
[15:15] <rtg> poningru: you must have an AR2425.
[15:16] <poningru> checking
[15:16] <poningru> damn it you are right madwifi stable is not .10.5.6
[15:16] <poningru> thats the one that works
[15:17] <poningru> its called the ar5006EG
[15:17] <BenC> that would be ath5k, wouldn't it?
[15:18] <rtg> BenC: it might be 9k. Luis said that it supported one of the 5k chipsets.
[15:18] <rtg> ar5006EG is an AR2425.
[15:18] <rtg> they have some confusing model numbers
[15:18] <poningru> indeed
[15:19] <rtg> I should be getting one today or Monday, so I'll know soon for sure.
[15:19] <poningru> aspire one?
[15:19] <poningru> or the wifi card?
[15:19] <rtg> no, an AR2425
[15:19] <rtg> wifi card
[15:22] <poningru> sigh I guess I will stick to my dkms solution for now
[15:22] <poningru> yeah I thought the .10.5 was the stable madwifi
[15:24] <BenC> poningru: not willing to try the 2.6.27 kernel packages?
[15:24] <poningru> well not for distribution
[15:24] <poningru> BenC, creating a no hassle ubuntu install for these netbooks
[15:25] <poningru> but yeah going to test out intrepid one of these days
[15:26] <poningru> and I guess get a .27 kernel for it
[15:26] <poningru> wait is intrepid going to have a .27 by default?
[15:26] <poningru> or .26
[15:26] <rtg> poningru: we are currently testing .27 for Intrepid
[15:28] <poningru> oh sweet
[15:28] <poningru> rc3 just came out right?
[15:28]  * poningru checks kt
[15:28] <rtg> poningru: -rc4
[15:28] <poningru> 0.0
[15:34] <poningru> I shall test and file bugs! but first a ppa
[16:29] <BenC> time to reboot...
[16:51] <BenC> well...everything seems to be functioning well
[16:52] <smb_tp> ... famous last words? ;-)
[17:04]  * BenC goes to lunch
