I'm trying to test Factory on my Acer Aspire 1551 netbook which has a BCM43225 wifi card. I installed milestone 3 from the KDE CD and was pleasantly surprised to see this new bcma module in the kernel seems to have replaced having to get the broadcom proprietary drivers (broadcom-wl package from packman).
So using bmca I got the wifi working and did a zypper up. Rebooted and now I'm on M5 and its 3.0.0-4-desktop kernel doesn't seem to have the bmca module, whereas 3.0.0-2-desktop from M3 did.
Any reason or is it just an oversight?
Thanks
Tim *PLEASE*! for chrissake, do NOT high-jack a thread with your crap!
You want to know about your problem re a netbook and wifi card then start a new thread and leave this thread alone which is dealing with an important matter concerning java!
BC Typical friendly response,
I was being polite if you really want to know.
no wonder this project is always crying out for more testers. How about you get over yourself and learn some social skills, having an email appear in the wrong thread in your mail client is really the end of the world isn't it?
My mail client threads mail correctly - always has. Re social skills: post your questions to the correct threads and not hi-jack an existing thread with your brain-dead "webmail", or whatever, you called it. Look at the details in the Header(s)s of (a) message(s) and you will see things which you have never seen before I will guarantee.
FWIW it was the webmail I'm using, I'm not trying to hijack your thread.
It's not "my" thread. The the problem lies at your end and not mine. You were replying to some post with an ID of <1314941695.28132.2.camel@linux-vpc2.site> and which has nothing to do with this thread. Where did you find the post to which your "webmail" thingie was replying?
Issue closed anyway, there's now a 3.0.0-4.1-desktop which looks like it has bcma ('bmca' in my email was a typo).
That's nice to know.
Tim
