Hi, |
2 |
I've been upgrading a couple of machines. Things are going fairly |
3 |
well but there have been a few problems. This one I need to work out |
4 |
first. |
5 |
|
6 |
1) My son's machine was rebuilt with gcc-4 following the upgrade |
7 |
guide. Everything went well and it finished up yesterday afternoon. |
8 |
Since I use ndiswrapper on that machine I rebuilt the kernel with |
9 |
gcc-4 and I rebooted with the new kernel and new drivers. Everything |
10 |
worked great including wireless, MythTV frontend, Aqualung, etc. |
11 |
|
12 |
2) This morning I cold booted and everything worked. I did an eix-sync |
13 |
and had a couple of things to build so I did that. One of them was new |
14 |
a udev package. Coldplug was removed from the machine. |
15 |
|
16 |
3) I *think* I warm booted at this point and things still worked but |
17 |
I'm not positive on that. However I then booted the machine into |
18 |
Windows to check that it was still there for games, and then warm |
19 |
booted back into Gentoo. At this point wireless was completely gone. I |
20 |
tried cold booting but that didn't help so I don't think running |
21 |
Windows made any real difference. |
22 |
|
23 |
a) /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stays it's stopped. If I try to start wlan0 |
24 |
I'm told it doesn't exist. |
25 |
|
26 |
b) I have the link from net.wlan0 to net.lo. |
27 |
|
28 |
c) I rebuilt ndiswrapper and it loads. ndiswrapper -l tells me that |
29 |
the driver is loaded and the device is present. |
30 |
|
31 |
d) All the basic stuff like route doesn't see the interface, as |
32 |
expected I guess. |
33 |
|
34 |
Where might I look for what's gone wrong? |
35 |
|
36 |
As an aside, the Gentoo kernels remove support for stack size |
37 |
changes so ndiswrapper complains about the kernel when it's emerged. |
38 |
Is there a patch to get an 8K stack size option back again? Why does |
39 |
anyone remove this in the first place instead of just setting it to a |
40 |
sane default? |
41 |
|
42 |
Sorry I Cannot send any info from the box but it's off the net. |
43 |
|
44 |
Thanks in advance, |
45 |
Mark |
