Hi dear maintainers of backports :) I have few bugs to report, Ill try to be as fast as I can. - Bug #1: Im running on standard Slitaz4, kernel 2.6.37-slitaz, updating modules, the following script: ./backports-3.13-rc1-1/scripts/compress_modules.sh the "if" is not able to detect the present compression, as result the new modules are not compressed, and get mixed with the old ones compressed, resulting in lots of errors. My actual workaround is just to delete the "if" line. The issue is present systematically in all backports releases, since the switch from compat-drivers. The compress_modules script into 3.9 is instead working good. - Bug #2: eeprom modules are missing into 3.13. This issue is present systematically in all backports releases, since the switch from compat-drivers. It could be a wireless bug only, or a backports bug only, or both. Anyway, eeprom module is vital for correct interface detection. Into 3.9 the eeprom modules are located in ./compat-drivers-3.9-rc4-2-su/drivers/misc/eeprom/ - Bug #3: New dependance has been added, CRYPTO_CCM, which denies all modules compilation based on MAC80211. The dependance is set in ./backports-3.13-rc1-1/net/mac80211/Kconfig On Slitaz4, such kernel config is not set, hence its needed to edit manually the kernel .config in order to enable it. After enabling, modules compilation goes all right. Hence, or CRYPTO_CCM is useless, or its needed to show a warning to the user at Kconfig runtime, in order to take the necessary measures. It took forever (even for me!) to find that bug, which btw was denying the compilation of my Realtek modules. - Bug #4: Repeated back-slashes "//" are present into script-makefile files, you can see them appear for example running "make alldefconfig & make install": [...] COMPRESS /lib/modules/2.6.37-slitaz//updates/compat/compat.ko gzip: can't open '/lib/modules/2.6.37-slitaz//updates/compat/compat.ko.gz': File exists [...] - Bug #5: Cosmetic bug, in file ./backports-3.13-rc1-1/Makefile, the following line is duplicated: @echo " allyesconfig - New config where all options are accepted with yes" Hope all is clear, now I have to leave you because my baby sh*t the diapers so much all is getting out and my wife is shouting at me! aaargh! :D Thanks for your attention :) -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The professional email service -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
