Yup it's an incompatibility between the stock F9 kernel and the recent firmwares. > My suggestion is to run the same driver and firmware on both XS and XO > so we do not have multiple variables to deal with. I generally agree, but unfortunately, that adds significant work (of carrying custom-compiled drivers) to a tiny team of 2. We don't have a kernel maintainer in the XS team :-/ That is why I need good solid reasons to move off the stock F9 stuff. With an already overstretched team I cannot get into Libertas testing or custom kernels... unless I can point to specific bugs. If I have specific bugs to look at, then it can be triaged with the rest of the work I have on the table... cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
