Voyage 0.9.2 currently contains a bug with the usbnet.ko kernel module (inherited from early versions of the Linux Kernel 3.10) – that prevents Sierra AirCard 320U (Telstra/Bigpond 4G/LTE USB) modems from working using the sierra_net.ko direct-IP USB Ethernet driver.
Based on the references quoted below, I have patched and manually re-compiled the faulty usbnet.ko driver. (Compiled driver available here (http://cl.ly/2k3k2s1Y2v2b) for the benefit of those who don’t want to go through the painful process of patching and re-compiling the kernel driver themselves.) This “usbnet: fix status interrupt urb handling” bug was fixed in Linux kernel 3.10.23, and it seems like at-least the Ubuntu and Red-Hat distros have rolled-out the fix in their repos. How do we get this fixed in the Voyage repos? (so that future upgrades won’t need to be manually patched) Many thanks, Michael References: https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=6855.0 (someone finding problem) https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60521 (actual kernel bug report and patch) https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/ChangeLog-3.10.23 (fixed in 3.10.23 kernel update) https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/ChangeLog-3.12.4 (fixed in 3.12.4 kernel update) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=998342 (fixed in Red-Hat distro) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1219256 (fixed in Ubuntu distro) Patch info for usbnet.c: (delete 3x lines) ... netdev_dbg(dev->net, "intr status %d\n", status); break; } - if (!netif_running (dev->net)) - return; - status = usb_submit_urb (urb, GFP_ATOMIC); ... _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
