Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.38-3 Severity: wishlist Tags: sid Hi,
As there was not follow-up on my email to the list, I'm sending this bug report, in the hope that it will bring attention to the kernel team. I have an old laptop with a bad internal WiFi board, so I bought a newer RaLink driver. To make it work, I had to add the option "rt2800usb - Include support for rt33xx devices (EXPERIMENTAL)" and "rt2800usb - Include support for rt35xx devices (EXPERIMENTAL)". These are not activated in your build (I've just checked). I believe that one of the most important point of running a backported kernel is to have such drivers for newer hardware. Could you please include the option above? The options to activate are as below: CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT33XX CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT35XX CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT33XX CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT35XX If you include the above options, I'll be able to test your backport instead of the quick and dirty one that I did myself. Thanks, and keep-up the good work, Thomas Goirand (zigo) -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
