Re: [RFC] compat-2.6: mangle symbols for driver-select

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On a side note, the compat-wireless name mangling will help with
another problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/249186

...this happens because compat-wireless builds a version of the usbnet
module but then there are Ethernet dongles (ex: asix) that rely on the
stock version of usbnet (they aren't updated by compat-wireless) and
the user gets a symbols mismatch as a result.  This won't be an issue
if compat-wireless' usbnet has mangled names for its symbols.
