Re: ancient ieee80211/ipw2200 drivers in recent kernel (2.6.14)
[dropping debian-boot from CC, they've indicated this isn't a packaging issue for them at this time] Hi, Sorry for the confusion surround this, I was not at all aware of the somewhat special state of ieee80211/ipw2200 upstream. Let me answer some questions, now I have done a little bit or research. Note these are the answers to the best of my knowledge, which is limited. If you know more, please add your knowledge below. 1. Why is ipw2200 so out of date in Debian's 2.6.14? ipw2200 is out of date in Debian's 2.6.14 because it is out of date in Linus' 2.6.14. I have been told by several sources that this is because of Intel not pushing the driver into the upstream tree untill it has gone through some certification process. Or at the very least, its fair to say that Intel are not pushing changes upstream as fast as a lot of people might like. So in short, there are newer versions of the driver floating around than what is in 2.6.14. 2. Why is ipw2200 in Debian's 2.6.14 source but not compiled. As I undestand it, the ipw2200 driver requires some non-free firmware to run. The firmware is not embeded in the code, so there is no problem with distributing it. But the driver isn't particularly useful (perhaps dosn't work at all?), so it isn't compiled. 3. Can you disable the ieee80211/ipw2200 drivers in 2.6.14 Unless I am very much mistaken, they are disabled. 4. Can you mangles the headers to make compilation of ieee80211-source and/or ipw2200-source easier? Given the unusual standing of these drivers, that is, they really are out of date in Linus' tree because the developers aren't pushing updates, I think we can consider a departure from the usual policy of only accepting upstream (that is Linus') changes. My prefered option would be a minimal patch to allow ieee80211-source and ipw2200-source to compile sensibly. However, if someone wants to maintain a backport of ipw2200/ieee80211 as a patch included in linux-2.6, then I think we should consider that. My main reservation there is that it might hold up releases. For insance, are we confident that updates to ipw2200/ieee80211 will be ready the day Linus releases 2.6.15? Also, someone needs to take responsibility for this task. Without that its going to end up a s broken patch in the tree. Ultimately the best option is to get newer versions of these drivers into Linus' tree. If there is any way that Debian can help with that, then thats help that should be given IMHO. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#337279: yaird: /boot != /tmp
On Thu, Nov 03, 2005 at 09:50:34PM -0500, Anthony DeRobertis wrote: Sven Luther wrote: [I just changed $template to start with /tmp; going to reboot shortly to see if it actually works...] A tmpfs could also be used for that, could it not ? I'm not sure what you're asking... A tmpfs can definitely be mounted on /tmp, and I suppose yaird could mount a tmpfs wherever it plans to create its temporary files, but I'm not sure why you'd want to do that. /tmp exists for a reason; why not use it? because i was thinking that the problem happened during boot time, and since there where issues of read-only filesystems. ... BTW, erik, i am not sure to have the files in non-/tmp will help security-wise, since it will only protect from people looking after the exact yaird behavior, and knowing about the situation.

Bug#337479: yaird: should use /usr/bin/perl, not /usr/local/bin/perl
Package: yaird Version: 0.0.11-11 Severity: normal Hi, I have rebuilt yaird from the Debian source package on a system where /usr/local/bin/perl is a symlink to /usr/bin/perl. In the resulting binary package, /usr/sbin/yaird begins with: #!/usr/local/bin/perl whereas in the standard package, it begins with: #!/usr/bin/perl Therefore the package does not work on other systems where /usr/local/bin/perl does not exist. It would be better if /usr/sbin/yaird did not depend on the perl PATH in the build system. I have seen a similar problem in another package that I have rebuilt from source, so it may be an issue with debhelper or perl itself. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (100, 'unstable'), (99, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages yaird depends on: ii cpio 2.6-9 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii dash 0.5.2-8 The Debian Almquist Shell ii libc62.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libhtml-template-perl2.6-2 HTML::Template : A module for usin ii libparse-recdescent-perl 1.94.free-1 Generates recursive-descent parser ii perl 5.8.7-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction yaird recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

But Debian .config has CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=m (CONFIG_TCP_CONG_*=m) which makes NewReno default. So this is like a regression. I'd like debian kernel to have CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=y provided that one can easily switch to another algorithm (using /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_congestion_control). could someone please comment on what a good default congestion algorithm setup for distribution kernels is? If you want BIC as default then do as suggested here. My personal opinion is that is the correct thing to do for a standard distribution. If it is an experimental distribution then turn on tcp advanced congestion control and build the rest (except for BIC) as modules.

Bug#337045: race condition?: sometimes fails to correctly detect my harddisk
I've seen similar symptoms (missing devices at boot) go away when I've increased the delay after the call to udevsynthesize in the initrd's init. You can try increasing the argument to sleep in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init (around line 72): # Populate /dev tree log_begin_msg Initializing /dev mkdir /dev/.udevdb UDEVD_EXPECTED_SEQNUM=$(($(cat /sys/kernel/hotplug_seqnum) + 1)) udevd --daemon udevsynthesize sleep 2 log_end_msg Try changing 'sleep 2' to 'sleep 20', regenerate the initrd and reboot. Let us know if it fixes the problem. I changed it to sleep 10, and up to now, it hasn't occured again. thanks. However, I would ask you not to call that a fix, it's just a quite ugly workaround, something that should not end up in a stable release. And it makes another issue more annoying because the fbcon module is currently loaded after the sleep, so I have for about 12 seconds a blank screen (with vga=791). With sleep 2, it was about 4 seconds, something that was more or less acceptable. The proper fix is to avoid the race condition, by appropriate locking code in the concerned software.

Use the config files. Bastian Bastian, please give a bit more info about this, and why should we not keep the flavours file, it was there for a reason, and it is much more user friendly to have it in a file, instead of having to do some strange search for config files like you suggest here, which may clash in case of user built packages being around. In any case, i am reopening this bug now, and will be implementing a fix for this bug nextly. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The flavours file does not provide the neccesary informations to build anything against it. No information about the kernel arch, nor about the compiler. Huh ? It contain the list of the names of the flavours for a given arch. In this sense it is exactly the info provided in the arch/arch/defines file, and once you have that, you prefix it to the version-abi, and you know which kernels you then need to build for. This file is naturally per arch, and the arch you are building for is the arch you need. As for the compiler, well, it will be the one currently in sid/etch or whatever. The aim is to have each external module packages be able to build binary module packages for the official kernel flavours, and to generate the control file of those packages and such stuff.

And if so, do you recommend updating Debian's kernel packages, or putting the updates elsewhere? Well, we could upstream, but so far no one is annoyed enough to overrid the driver maintainer. I'd suggest merging a more recent driver into the debian kernel package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
