There was a bug in backports regarding EEPROM_93CX6, could you please try backports-20131122-2 and report back if the problem is still there. > - 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. Yes that dependency was added to mac80211 in the mainline kernel some weeks ago. After you activated CRYPTO_CCM in your kernel config you have to recompile your kernel otherwise you will get problems at least when you use WPA2. > - 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 > [...] Probably a different error is causing this problem, Linux is fine with repeated back-slahes, it just does not look nice. > - 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" I will have a look into this. > 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 :) > -- 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
