Hi,
I am testing/using kernel 2.6.29-56 from Kernel:HEAD repo, which is working fine, and very quick with my eee-pc-901. However, with this kernel no hw-info is available for the rt2860 wifi card, so it is not there to configure and use.
The other kernel which came with 11.1: 2.6.27.19- 3.2-pae, does find the card, and it is useble. How will i be able to get the card detected by the 2.6.29-56 kernel?
It seems that a kernel module is needed: rt2860sta-kmp-default. This module is not in the repos.
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/11316859/com/rt2860sta-kmp-defau...
has one for older kernel, but that rpm cannot be installed. Is there any hope this module will return, and be maintained? Or standard be inside the kernel modules list, or whatever?
It is in the 11.1 kernel, so you could just use the 11.1 kernel itself...
That kernel is slower, and does not support the volume hotkeys..
The reason for it missing in the 2.6.29 build is:
CONFIG_STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD=y
Why is it set? Jeff? Greg? Don't we want the staging drivers too?
Ciao, Marcus
