| rigo | hi | 19:56 |
|---|---|---|
| rigo | is there a way to dunno.. "request" a driver to build in to the new kernel? | 19:58 |
| JanC | rigo: you mean rebuild a driver that is not part of the kernel on kernel-upgrades? | 20:02 |
| rigo | no, i guess not. i mean if i install the latest kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ my new device is automatically recognised. so supported "out of box" | 20:03 |
| rigo | so it would be wonderful to have the tevii S662 usb dvb-s2 driver in the next kernel release. | 20:04 |
| JanC | if you want mainline kernel to support your device, you'll have to talk to the upstream kernel developers (and possibly also to the devices manufacturer(s)) | 20:05 |
| JanC | (maybe the Ubuntu kernel developers can help with that) | 20:06 |
| JanC | rigo: actually, the manufacturer working with the upstream kernel project would probably be best, if they want to... | 20:07 |
| rigo | it is a pain in the ... to install a driver.. :/ | 20:10 |
| rigo | in example the s471 card was not supported in the 3.4 but was in the 3.6. so i didnt had to wait a lot. maybe ill be lucky this time too | 20:12 |
| JanC | if the manufacturer, or somebody working with them, is working on those drivers, it might work soon | 20:13 |
