Hi Guys,
@radi2k - If you do not want to test via a LiveCD you'd need to enable
the Intrepid repository in order to install the 2.6.27 kernel.
@Markus - Thanks for testing and the update. I'm assuming with Hardy
you had linux-ubuntu-modules installed? The reason I ask is that I'm
only able to find this message existing in the hardy-lum git tree:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ubuntu-hardy-lum$ grep -rn "DoRxHighPower" *
ubuntu/wireless/rtl8187-usb/rtl8187/r8180_dm.c:344:
printk("DoRxHighPower(): RF_ZEBRA, Upper Threshold: %d LOWER Threshold:
%d\n",
Here's a link to the actual file:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy-
lum.git;a=blob;f=ubuntu/wireless/rtl8187-usb/rtl8187/r8180_dm.c;h=994493732de899c01f25cfca258151bb058f81ec;hb=HEAD
Looking at the code it just looks like a random printk was inadvertantly
left in the code. You'll notice it looks like the majority of the other
printk's were indeed commented out. I assume you saw no other issues
with this driver - ie wifi is working for you otherwise?
Beginning with Intrepid however, linux-ubuntu-modules was merged with
the linux kernel source. I quickly searched the intrepid kernel git
tree but was unable to find this same message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ubuntu-intrepid$ grep -rn "DoRxHighPower" *
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ubuntu-intrepid$
Then searching for r8180_dm.c indeed shows the file no longer exists in
Intrepid:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ubuntu-intrepid$ find -name "r8180_dm.c"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ubuntu-intrepid$
So it makes sense that the message is gone now when you've tested
2.6.27.
Regarding the new messages you are seeing, based on the above
information I'd say they are unrelated to this specific bug and likely
looks to be an issue with NetworkManager. Alexander did put out a call
for testing NetworkManager 0.7 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
devel-announce/2008-August/000467.html so you may want to seach some of
the newer Network Manager bug reports to see if this may already be
reported.
Regarding this specific bug against Hardy let me know if you'd like me
to try to get this pushed through the SRU process. It seems like it
would be a simple one line fix of commenting out the offending printk.
Thanks.
