Hi people, i got today, for the first time, some of the famous usb modem like huawei ones (and not only). i got them coz i am supposed to write something about linux compatibility. on suse 11.2 i'm quite happy, after upgrade usb_modeswitch (from 0.9.6 into OSS to 1.1.2) to latest version (into hardware OBS repo) i had ALL of them working just plug and play.
i thought that with suse 11.3 it would be even easier... you know, more recent kernel, more recent packages, more recent everything... instead...
well instead, not only none of the worked, but looks their support has been even dropped... usb_modeswitch is not even into factory repo (why???) so...
the question is... any reason to drop that important hardware support? someone just forgot to submit requestes or what else? (i am ready to take care of that package and others needed to provide that support on suse 11.3, IMHO it's a MUST HAVE)
Regards Andrea
This was discussed on the os-kernel list last week.
usb_modeswitch is desired, but it was dropped from factory due to the lack of a maintainer. I don't know if it's too late to get into 11.3 or not.
Greg
ok, i am going to take care of it.. it's too important, not have into the repo, means we will loose lots of users that will easly move to ubuntu. i don0t want it, i want suse to be the best distro ever (that's why i pushed so hard on lxde). do not provide such as important package is like killing ourselfs
Andrea,
Let me help you with getting it back in factory. I updated it now to the current version and it's in the hardware project. Does that one work for you? I'll get you added as maintainer if you tell me your account,
Andreas
Yes, is enought to install that version even on factory to make all my devices working, please consider that "eject /devsr*" doesn't work any time. my OBS user account is "anubisg1" (no quotation marks) Andrea - -- - ------------------------------------------ Andrea Florio QSI International School of Brindisi Sys Admin CISCO CCNA Certified openSUSE-Education Administrator openSUSE Official Member (anubisg1) Email: andrea@opensuse.org Packman Packaging Team Email: andrea@links2linux.de Web: http://packman.links2linux.org/ Cell: +39-328-7365667 - ------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvzoLYACgkQyCZT87TFPuh/WgCg48m7T/f7QWmuVGdGQWNhEZwV PpEAoLFlX1Kxo3WB+0NXdS3akHnqDXH/ =E+sn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
