Re: [gentoo-user] Getting BC not to truncate at the decimal point?
Mike Huber wrote: Hi, I'm just trying to do some quick calculations using bc, but the version installed through portage truncates on multiplication/division. It didn't used to do this 2 years ago when I was taking number theory, and there are no USE flags available for sys-devel/bc to change this. From the manpage: - The most basic element in bc is the number. Numbers are arbitrary precision numbers. This precision is both in the integer part and the fractional part. All numbers are represented internally in decimal and all computation is done in decimal. ( This version truncates results from divide and multiply operations.) There are two attributes of numbers, the length and the scale. The length is the total number of significant decimal digits in a number and the scale is the total number of decimal digits after the decimal point. For example: .01 has a length of 6 and scale of 6. 1935.000 has a length of 7 and a scale of 3. Anyone have any ideas? --Mike Hi, Try this. $ echo '1/5' | bc 0 $ echo '1/5' | bc -l .2000 I don't think bc has changed in a long time. Maybe you forgot the -l option. You can also control the scale explicitly like this. echo 'scale=3;1/5' | bc -l .200 Hope this helps. John Green -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I get the same warning (again, ipw2200), and it works fine. I noticed that the version in the kernel is the 'stable' .0 version, while the one you are using with 2.6.12.6 is a .2 'unstable' version. It might be interesting to try merging the 1.1.0 version of the package with 2.6.12.6, and see if you have the same issue. That would tell you if it is a driver version or kernel change that is causing the problem. Thanks for the suggestion, but I might never see a working 2.6.12.6 again if I do that :-( I have already run emerge -C ipw2100 to remove that Gentoo package, which is no longer needed with kernel 2.6.14. How does wireless still work under 2.6.12.6 without that package? Sounds like removing the package didn't remove the compiled kernel modules from /lib/modules/2.6.12.6. Both unusual and lucky! Yes, the 2.6.12.6 module is still there. I probably built it under 2.6.12.6 and then 'removed' it while running 2.6.14. What *should* happen in those circumstances? Also, my kernels have no support for module unloading, which is probably a mistake when I need to play around with ipw2100 etc. This at last explains why I had to keep rebooting to see the effect of changes. Is the warning about versions 19 and 17 significant? It seems to come from iwconfig, which is part of wireless-tools. I have version 27-r1 of that package, which is the latest available. 28_pre10 is available for ~x86. Try: echo net-wireless/wireless-tools ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge -Dv wireless-tools Also, there are now versions of the ieee80211 and ipw2100 packages that will merge with 2.6.14. They are also masked ~x86, so you will need to do the same updates to package.keywords: echo net-wireless/ieee80211 ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords echo net-wireless/ipw2100 ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords These steps did not seem to help. This should give you the latest 1.1.3 version of the driver. If it still won't work with 2.6.14, I suggest subscribing and posting to the devel list at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ipw2100-devel Thanks for the help, but this is where I give up and go back to 2.6.12.6. I build my own kernels so I know what is in them and to get the minimum feature set. I want the latest kernel to get security and other fixes, and not because I need any new functionality. At least I got closer with 2.6.14. Kernel 2.6.13.x never created an eth0 device. And I will read the ipw2100 dev list from now on. Other people have similar problems, but I can't see a solution yet.

[gentoo-user] module-rebuild script

As a check, I then ran module-rebuild list again, and it listed the same three modules as before. Am I missing something obvious? Fortunately, everything is still working.

Hi,
I have been using wireless on my Dell laptop successfully under kernel

and earlier, but I can't get it to build under kernel 2.6.13. Specifically,
the ipw2100 package fails to compile against kernel 2.6.13.{,1,2}. I
have looked in

In detail, when
/usr/src/linux = /usr/src/linux-2.6.12.6
everything works OK.
But when
/usr/src/linux = /usr/src/linux-2.6.13.2
there are errors beginning like this.

(I sometimes use a PCMCIA cable-ethernet card, but not at present.)
There is a comment that the ipw in-kernel driver may change in 2.6.14,
but I don't want to wait
for that if it turns out to be my error anyway.
Thanks,
John Green

There's an IRC channel on freenode and they also have their own bug database you can search through. Maybe you will find something there? Thanks for the tip. Their bug database did not help, so it was IRC or nothing. I'd been on IRC only once before, and that was two years ago... so this time I made notes on how to do it. Anyway, someone on freenode/#ipw2100 thought the problem might be with ieee80211. A detailed look at my log file for rebuilding ieee80211 under 2.6.13.2 showed that the ebuild tried to delete kernel file include/net/ieee80211.h, but failed with insufficient privilege, even though emerge was running as root. I deleted the kernel header file by hand and the ebuild for ipw2100 then ran successfully. Kernel 2.6.12.6 does not contain the file include/net/ieee80211.h, so the compilation error never happened with that kernel. Unfortunately, wireless would still not work under 2.6.13.2, despite many rebuilds in different orders and many reboots. I guess I'll stick with kernel 2.6.12.6 for now. If I ever do get wireless working under 2.6.13 or higher, I'll try to add a note to the Gentoo Wiki for ipw2100. (More learning and note-taking!) I use a script to detect errors in ebuild log files because the logs are usually too long to read. The script clearly needs an extra clause to highlight the phrase 'insufficient privilege'.
