Bug#613536: firmware-realtek: Please include the binary firmware for Realtek
Perhaps it is easier or better to grab the rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin firmware from the linux-firmware repository: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=summary The corresponding license is included there as LICENCE.rtlwifi_firmware.txt . I've been happily using it for weeks with compat-wireless and linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 on my Thinkpad with Linux Mint Debian Edition. Further details at: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_11b/g/n_Wireless_LAN_Mini-PCI_Express_Adapter_III Recent Dell Minis feature this wifi adapter, too, so I guess it is or will become quite common. I'm just about to switch to the 2.6.38 kernel which includes the corresponding rtl8192ce driver, but unfortunately it is not enabled in the Debian unstable package, yet. However, my manual rebuild of that package with the module enabled works well so far, so maybe I just need to send a request for it.

Bug#619051: linux-2.6: Missing Realtek 8188CE pcie wifi support (rtlwifi/rtl8192ce module not built)
Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.38-1 Severity: wishlist Summary: Please enable the new rtlwifi/rtl8192ce drivers in the kernel build config. Full version: I'm sending this email from my wireless Thinkpad Edge using my own rebuild of the linux-image-2.6.38-1-amd64 package with just those two additional modules enabled and the firmware from the linux-firmware git repository in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin. My system runs Linux Mint Debian Edition, but it should apply to all Testing/Unstable systems with the Realtek 8188CE pcie wifi adapter and this kernel.

Bug#559035: linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64: Random segfaults with lenny amd64 kernel
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 Version: 2.6.26-19lenny2 Followup-For: Bug #559035 Just a 'me too' on the plain kernel version.

There are no additional trace lines in my log, though. All of them are from 5 different python cgi scripts out of a bigger set, and apparently they succeed without segfault most of the time. Actually the segfaults seem to happen only once in every 1 or more tries. All the scripts do file I/O, but do not use any exotic python modules.

Bug#504167: T60
The bug appears to also be fixed with the latest -11~snapshot on my T60 with ATI Radeon X1400 (radeonhd driver) running Lenny: sys_product = 2007FTG bios_version = 79ETE3WW (2.23) Yesterday I tested quite a bit with 2.6.26-10 and never managed to get past 8 resumes before hitting the 'black screen with cursor' hang. After upgrading to the snapshot, I'm now past 20 resumes in a row with different levels of interaction and docking setup and still no hangs. Well done!

Bug#427675: vdr-plugin-mplayer: online content in playlist fails
Package: vdr-plugin-mplayer Version: 0.9.15-13 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi VDR devs I haven't received a response to my direct posting to the pkg-vdr-dvb-devel list so now I'm trying the official path instead... I've been trying to find a way to play online video streams directly using the vdr mplayer plugin, but haven't found a way to do so without modifying the /usr/share/vdr-plugin-mplayer/mplayer script. If I save the source url in a '.pls' file, the 'readable file' test in the script fails, because the extracted FILE is not a local file. However, if I disable the readable check for online sources, it works. As far as I can see, the read check was added specifically in the deb version of the script as a part of a merge between two example scripts. The 'vanilla' version does not include this check and thus works. I've attached a simple patch that works for me. Please feel free to include it directly or in a modified version. An online copy of the patch is available from my last post in the list archive as well: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-vdr-dvb-devel/attachments/20070508/8fbeb271/mplayer.bin Btw, I'm using mplayer from Marillat's repository, but I don't think it's related to this bug.

Bug#343351: perl-base: Errno arch check bug (re)introduced in Sarge
Package: perl-base
Version: 5.8.4-8sarge3
Followup-For: Bug #343351
The lastest upgrade of perl-base in Sarge (re)introduces the
broken check which was fixed in bug #343351.
I've only seen the bug in relation to 'awstats' not working
anymore, but the list of affected packages from that bug may
also apply here.
The previous perl-base had the following check in
/usr/lib/perl/5.8/Errno.pm:
$Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'} eq
i386-linux-thread-multi-2.4.27-ti1211 or
die Errno architecture (i386-linux-thread-multi-2.4.27-ti1211) does
not match executable architecture ($Config{'archname'}-$Config{'o svers'});
Which the upgrade changed to:
$Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'} eq
i386-linux-thread-multi-2.6.15 or
die Errno architecture (i386-linux-thread-multi-2.6.15) does not match
executable architecture ($Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'});
Deleting/commenting the check solves the problem for now.
Cheers, Jonas
