@Seth Forshee thank you for post.
yes, I'd like v much to get this new build in place (on my pc); currently I have uname -a Linux unity1104-slowGIGA 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux or in summary linux-image-2.6.38.8-generic 2.6.38.8.42 linux-headers-2.6.38.8-generic 2.6/38.8.42 linux-image-generic 2.6.38.8.22 linux-headers-generic 2.6.38.22 the conventional way of building new kernels, if I remember well, is something, + or -, along this a kernel patch no doubt require a new kernel build that in turn requires, first, the current kernel source downloaded and second the patch file I could see the patch on your post here 0001-zd1211rw-fix-invalid-signal-values-from-device.patch however, where from can I get linux-image-2.6.38.8-generic 2.6.38.8.42 source pls ? once I have the 2 packages (kernel source and patch) then apply the patch to drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/zd_mac.c cp -vi /boot/config-`uname -r` .config make-menuconfig fakeroot make-kpkg –append-to-version=patched kernel_image dpkg -i (kernel image created) mkinitrd ??? (not sure of entire cmd) now, I could see in the post there are already .deb files for linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic_2.6.38-8.42~lp769986v201106011610_amd64.deb linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic_2.6.38-8.42~lp769986v201106011610_amd64.deb I never installed/upgraded kernels and headers by means of .deb files. I require some help pls ie - do linux-image-generic 2.6.38.8.22 linux-headers-generic 2.6.38.22 have to be upgraded too ? if yes should I apply Jussi's #8 procedure to linux-image-generic 2.6.38.8.22 ? how about the linux-headers-generic 2.6.38.22 ? - do cmds like sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic_2.6.38-8.42~lp769986v201106011610_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic_2.6.38-8.42~lp769986v201106011610_amd64.deb suffice to get the job done ? - what about linux-headers-2.6.38-8_2.6.38-8.42~lp769986v201106011610_all.deb ? should it be installed too in the same way as the 2 above ? sorry, I do not want to jump 'head first' so to speak and wreck my good installation BUT I'M v keen in learning howto install new kernel builds and headers .deb ON EXISTING ubuntu good installs. I do know that applying successfully patches to kernels in not an easy task - there are lots of things that have to be done/attended to in order to achieve success. your help is appreciated. tu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/759986 Title: WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.38/net/wireless/scan.c:591 cfg80211_inform_bss_frame 0x1da/0x1f0 [cfg80211]() -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
