Re: [gentoo-user] Synce and gentoo : crash RAPI driver

[Arnaud FARINE]

Hi,
Great answer !! I understand that I must use the subversion If I would like
to have a chance to make something ;-)
I verify by two times, I've CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER set to =m, so I think
it's ok.
Other thing, I use dccm bc occm isn't provided by Gentoo distrib...
rndis-driver...I don't understand "You might even have to delete the modules
that
the kernel generated in order to use the usb-rndis-lite ones, because
they will have the same name as the vanilla-kernel modules. It is
important to compile them in you kernel beforehand in order to have the
kernel include some needed symbols." but I'll look for at the link that you
give me.

I thank you, and I'll try this soon! Do you think I must unmerge my synce
previous installation before to use subversion ? Or the subversion
compilation scratchs my present installation ?

Big thanks !!

Arnaud
