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
Most of the inconsistency here is the overloading of the term "tablet." All of the CONFIG_TABLET_USB_* options refer to artists' tablets that plug into any machine as an input device. The FUJITSU_TABLET option should probably be disabled.
Actually, the Yoga 13 is a little more than your standard tablet. It has a keyboard, 8 GB RAM, USB 2 and 3 ports, a 256 GB SSD, and an i7 processor. Of course at ~$1000, it is priced like a notebook/laptop computer.
Installing openSUSE would be no more difficult on one of those than it was to install on my new Toshiba A50.
I don't have one of these to confirm, but the Lenovo page seems to indicate that the Yoga 13 is a different beast entirely and comes with Intel WiFi, not the Realtek stuff that this driver enables. Actually, nm. That's the Yoga 2 13. The Yoga 13 comes with "Lenovo WiFi," which is probably Realtek. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTpE5/AAoJEB57S2MheeWyNWwP+wWl6L8jAXn4Rp2mWamzjEM0 5kCu9neegXRBUD4wddwASGpG8/PJMKTJFuRT8ieLHfrYfm+4IkV2WlQqHv0jxrPA sDXuF0szNjOrHaazHWSvK9Hkjo0PaTScg2NBpDJD7N0/oXxzbLR1ElnMfUzRJU7L fUgTVphxmxQWWh0n+4tFkaxkaGe8oCLW1Q5QrPW3hu8RqB3ZmjUSCWYwR60vIv8V USNu2Ap0ePc5ophg6c8BeJO3kDaUPCgrBqfvymzetrfd6AkGS72gaf1kqmxIVo9J fItdqxw+y0sMnpTAUMRVhdbgo4v1SlLNlGDLxpdQgmJnNos7QsRWS91RoNXkRkcO C357aVpD6hizwiS2tQOE6l4eB9lB40a4QSbECXkI0TloDdmj0e6iNGECgw2cDX2R Dk8puf4DVyvafbLlYpplbAsSAYbowHG5kP6F0Ecfrz5zWzeJJ8dawQy/nzIB7rTe 0j7f3ZzsYZAEKxngcHzQLkCCb9OQGOYmpd4ssCBdH/DQgQCA6eKFiPPedR5jWSFO pMm+dMH5sM5vFYML4OEHY/43wcB8TdmmhRihON/+gHMCDPo3DX3fHxGjyF8u5N49 4ASeWIPCcCP04bXlFq/ISrigTzfrQJr3KUnrUKdiSrsSBRB90cOdGib0zF+87rzm +aUsiYqOmAFYnmVNP/d7 =6kjR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
