Re: libertas firmware version query
So is there a reason p20 isn't in use? Or is there no requirement for the features/fixes it has? Peter On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 10:49 PM, Ricardo Carrano [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!

libertas firmware version query
Hi All, Quick query on the libertas-usb8388-firmware package. Is the firmware version dependent on the kernel version or anything else? The reason I ask is that the version in joyride is 2:5.110.22.p18-1.olpc2 from the old olpc2 branch and the one in Fedora mainline is 2:5.110.22.p14-1.fc10. So there's a difference of p18 vs p14.

Can't speak for those specific versions, but there certainly has been interdependence between the kernel and the firmware in the past. We had a bug during the 8.2 runup for a few weeks where collaboration just didn't work. I tracked this down to the fact that multicasts weren't happening, and I traced that bug to a mismatch between kernel and firmware.

Nice, I added these to the http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Libertas wiki page I've never flashed the Libertas firmware on my 2007 G1G1 XO, yet olpc-netstatus -i says I have Libertas: 5.110.22.p18 (from August 2008). Does upgrading the OS image on your XO also install new Libertas firmware, the same way that it may update Open Firmware? If so, is there any way to tell it's happening?

The libertas firmware is just the /lib/firmware/usb8388.bin file that is uploaded to the wireless subsystem at boot time. So, it is part of the distribution. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
