I think the patch that I did upload should not be integrated into the ubuntu package or the upstream version.
It only works around the fact that the name for the control device printed from "/proc/misc" changed from "pktcdvd" as expected to "pktcdvd/control". That seems to be caused by a kernel internal interface change that was not completely done correct in this kernel version (2.6.31.6). But the packet writing support in this kernel is broken. So adding the patch to the Karmic packages would enable the user to configure the packet writing as expected but it still won't work as the function itself seems to be broken. So I think it is better to keep this patch out. Later kernels fixed the wrong name of the pktcdvd control device (the patch is not needed then) but the packet writing support is still broken as described here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/526774). -- pktcdvd module missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
