**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Dec 20 02:59:57 2006 Dec 20 20:54:05 Hi. Dec 20 20:56:29 Does the ixp4xxx driver in the 2.6.19 kernel work on the nslu2? Or do I still need the Intel driver? Dec 20 20:57:46 <[g2]> ernie123 I think the GPL driver works fine, but there is probably some setup for the firmware DL Dec 20 20:58:01 <[g2]> firmware being the NPE firmware Dec 20 20:58:24 <[g2]> and you probably need to do both together Dec 20 20:59:02 OK. The driver docs talk about either hotplug or some kind of partition. Dec 20 21:01:10 Ah, maybe I shouldn't be so stubborn :). I don't have a serial connection to my slug, I'm not even able to replace the openslug standard kernel, and I'm thinking about changing NIC drivers... My biggest problem is the documentation. It's pretty scattered, and parts are outdated/incomplete. Dec 20 21:01:46 Is there a known-to-work guide to roll a 2.6.19 kernel and flash it to the slug? Dec 20 21:06:47 <[g2]> ernie123 it's a working progress Dec 20 21:07:05 <[g2]> s/working/work in/ Dec 20 21:07:18 [g2] meant: ernie123 it's a work in progress Dec 20 21:10:12 alright. is it something I can help out with? Dec 20 21:35:27 g2 is the fact that the ixp4xxx driver is now in the kernel the reason that the build of the intel module is removed from the latest kernel (2.6.19) Makefile from svn.nslu2-linux.org? Dec 20 21:36:34 <[g2]> ernie123. Right don't know the last version the Intel driver was supported 2.6.16/17 Dec 20 21:36:52 <[g2]> I think as of .18 the GPL NPE driver was in the repo Dec 20 21:39:18 g2 thanks. I finally start to get a good overview on the different components that I need to get this new kernel working. Dec 20 21:39:44 * [g2] didn't do much :) Dec 20 21:41:10 it only takes one piece to solve the puzzle :) Dec 20 21:49:44 * joshin paints all the pieces white Dec 20 21:49:52 That will learn him **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Dec 21 03:00:03 2006
