[Bug 927782] Re: Include experimental alx driver in the quantal kernel
AceLan Kao, Just an update: I see that 3.5.0-28 is now in precise-proposed. Is that the same 28 as the one you linked above? (post #74), http://people.canonical.com/~acelan/bugs/lp927782/. I'm afraid to update my 28 with the new 28 :) Furthermore, I have also installed the linux-generic-lts-raring kernel (3.8.0-19). Unfortunately that one includes the buggy alx module. It seems that every package version for every ubuntu version needs to be patched again and again (at least bcmwl and alx are two notorious examples, both of which affect me). Now: would it be possible to include the working alx module in the raring kernel? From what I can see this bug is a Won't fix for raring. Is there a reason why a non-working module is included in the raring kernel (where we now have a working module in the quantal kernel) _and_ somebody has decided that this is fine?

[Bug 927782] Re: Include experimental alx driver in the quantal kernel
@AceLan Kao, If I understand what you're saying, the alx module included with Ubuntu corresponds to the one from qca/alx, which itself is the same as mcgrof/alx plus 8d41851. Now, I don't know if mcgrof/alx has ever worked on any machine, or if this is just some kind of work-in-progress not intended to be used. I really don't know. What I *do* know is that the alx module from compat-wireless-3.6.8-1 (snpc), from http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable /#compat-wireless_3.6_stable_releases, works perfectly. I count about 33 commits on mcgrof/alx, which I assume apply on top of the driver as found in compat-wireless. But I really don't know how the git module is related to the compat-wireless module. In any case, since I suppose most users (at least I do) prefer a *working* module rather than a bleeding edge *non-working* module, I suggest you include the alx module from compat-wireless 3.6.8-1 in the Ubuntu kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927782 Title: Include experimental alx driver in the quantal kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/927782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 927782] Re: Include experimental alx driver in the quantal kernel
I just installed 3.5.0-27.46 on 12.04.02 yesterday evening. ALX module loaded fine (and 1154238 looks very promising), but I didn't actually plug the Ethernet cable (I normally use only WLAN).

[Bug 927782] Re: Include experimental alx driver in the quantal kernel
Follow up from #67 in response to #66. Upgrading from 3.5.0-26 to 3.5.0-27 does NOT resolve the problem. ALX module is loaded OK, but plugging network cable is silently ignored (no dmesg activity, NM doesn't seem to notice anything). After rmmod alx modprobe alx the module is reloaded and dumps lots of garbage on dmesg. Network cable is detected but no packets go out or in. Workaround is to: # rm /lib/modules/3.5.0-27-generic/kernel/ubuntu/alx/alx.ko then compile alx.ko from compat-wireless (I use 3.6.8-1-snpc) and make install. This puts alx.ko in /lib/modules/3.5.0-27-generic/update/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/alx.ko After rebooting alx module works perfectly. Given that the Ubuntu-provided alx module is so broken I suggest you remove it with a new kernel update, then fix it, TEST IT, and then include it in a future kernel version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927782 Title: Include experimental alx driver in the quantal kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/927782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 927782] Re: Include experimental alx driver in the quantal kernel
@jm-leddy, I can verify that the alx module included in 3.5.0-24.37 (linux-lts- quantal) does NOT work, at least on 12.04.02. Installing alx again from sources makes it work. I see that bug 1154238 is only for Quantal and Raring and the fix is in kernel 3.8.0-13.22 (raring). I might try that kernel on precise (but then I'm sure my WLAN will be busted), but I guess bug 1154238 should also be linked to precise (I'll see if I can do that..) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927782 Title: Include experimental alx driver in the quantal kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/927782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
