This is a heads-up regarding kernel configuration for 3.15. Selecting the configuration option CONFIG_RTL8723AU_P2P leads to crashes with some, but not all, of the RTL8723AU devices. This hardware is fairly rare, and there may not me any openSUSE users with it, but why take a chance.
All of the CONFIG_RTL8723AU_P2P code has been removed in 3.16 and replaced by cfg80211 ioctls, thus not having P2P functionality is only temporary.
Thanks for the report Larry, I've disabled CONFIG_8723AU_P2P in the master kernel branch.
That being said RTL8723AU support is only enabled in arm kernels at the moment so it probably does not matter that much.
As RTL8723AU is part of the Radxa Rock, having it in the ARM kernels makes sense; however, it also ships with Lenovo Yoga 13 tablets. Unless we want to abandon that market to Ubuntu, we should probably enable the device in x86 and x86_64 kernels.
I was wondering. In the commit which disabled the driver on x86, Jeff commented: - New options specific to tablets, all disabled: * INPUT_SOC_BUTTON_ARRAY (windows tablet) * R8723AU (Lenovo Yogi) Which means tablets are apparently considered off the table. But that's inconsistent with the rest of the configuration file: CONFIG_INPUT_TABLET=y CONFIG_TABLET_USB_ACECAD=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_AIPTEK=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_GTCO=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_HANWANG=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_KBTAB=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_WACOM=m CONFIG_FUJITSU_TABLET=m Which leaves two questions unanswered: * Do we or don't we support tablets with openSUSE? Configuration files should be consistent with our decision. * If we do support tablets, I am very curious how one can actually install openSUSE on a tablet. How do you get it to boot on the installation media? How do you perform the installation without a keyboard? -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
