Feb 17 18:05:44 <icemetal> does anyone know how to enable realtek 8187 in the kernel?
Feb 17 18:05:55 <icemetal> I mean 8192
Feb 17 18:06:12 <otavio> icemetal: what is the problem? which kernel and arch?
Feb 17 18:06:24 <icemetal> 2.6.39.3
Feb 17 18:06:27 <icemetal> imx
Feb 17 18:06:29 <icemetal> arm
Feb 17 18:06:45 <icemetal> otavio salvator?
Feb 17 18:06:54 <otavio> yes
Feb 17 18:06:59 <otavio> icemetal: nice to meet you
Feb 17 18:07:03 <otavio> icemetal: who are you?
Feb 17 18:07:31 <icemetal> Andre, seen your name all over the yocto project :)
Feb 17 18:07:48 <icemetal> nice too meet you too
Feb 17 18:08:18 <icemetal> I have the netgear usb wifi adapter, but I can not find it the kernel
Feb 17 18:08:18 <otavio> icemetal: eheh I try to be helpful :-) But Yocto is plent of nice people. I am just another one who works with it :)
Feb 17 18:08:36 <icemetal> you been I follow your guides
Feb 17 18:08:40 <icemetal> very helpful
Feb 17 18:08:54 <otavio> icemetal: arm; but which arm?
Feb 17 18:08:58 <icemetal> imx233
Feb 17 18:09:13 <otavio> icemetal: use the 3.7 patch we have in meta-fsl-arm
Feb 17 18:09:15 <otavio> icemetal: easier
Feb 17 18:09:36 <otavio> icemetal: 2.6.35.3 does not provide the support for this chip
Feb 17 18:09:38 <icemetal> I did downloaded 3.7.x
Feb 17 18:10:07 <otavio> icemetal: there's also a branch based on upcoming 3.8 for testing
Feb 17 18:10:52 <icemetal> thanks, I will do that, but still looks to enable PCI
Feb 17 18:11:11 <icemetal> is one of the dependency
Feb 17 18:11:21 <icemetal> that's what I been trying to do
Feb 17 18:13:27 <icemetal> you mean there is a patch on git://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm.git?
Feb 17 18:13:31 <otavio> icemetal: you maybe be choosing the wrong driver
Feb 17 18:13:48 <otavio> icemetal: what build system you're using ? (I hope Yocto)
Feb 17 18:13:54 <icemetal> yes yocto
Feb 17 18:14:00 <icemetal> follow your guide
Feb 17 18:14:01 <otavio> icemetal: this or in git.yoctoproject.org
Feb 17 18:14:05 <zecke> RP: Have you used perf recently?
Feb 17 18:14:11 <icemetal> no I have to look there
Feb 17 18:14:19 <otavio> icemetal: github is a mirror
Feb 17 18:15:01 <icemetal> I think is outdated
Feb 17 18:15:21 <icemetal> last update on gihub was a month ago
Feb 17 18:15:36 <icemetal> I just cloned about 3 days ago
Feb 17 18:15:40 <icemetal> and that's the kernel I got
Feb 17 18:15:50 <icemetal> 2.6.39
Feb 17 18:15:56 <otavio> depends on the branch
Feb 17 18:16:06 <otavio> danny yes, master yestarday I think
Feb 17 18:16:17 <icemetal> I run this command MACHINE=imx233-olinuxino-micro . ./setup-environment build
Feb 17 18:16:51 <otavio> icemetal: so you're using the fsl-community-bsp. Good
Feb 17 18:16:57 <otavio> icemetal: so do: repo sync
Feb 17 18:17:10 <icemetal> ok
Feb 17 18:18:03 <otavio> which branch you're using danny or master?
Feb 17 18:18:22 <icemetal> denzil
Feb 17 18:18:35 <icemetal> i think that's my problem
Feb 17 18:19:19 <otavio> icemetal: move to danny ;-)
Feb 17 18:19:28 <icemetal> ok :)
Feb 17 18:19:40 <icemetal> is that why I have an older kernel?
Feb 17 18:22:46 <otavio> icemetal: well
Feb 17 18:23:11 <otavio> icemetal: FSL official kernel is 2.6.35.3; so you need to setup Yocto to use the mainline one.
Feb 17 18:23:34 <otavio> icemetal: but it is quite easy to do.
Feb 17 18:24:39 <icemetal> you mean to switch the the newest kernel is supported on FSL?
Feb 17 18:25:07 <icemetal> but either way, when I downloaded the newest kernel from kernel.org
Feb 17 18:25:42 <icemetal> I was not able to enable rtl8192
Feb 17 18:25:54 <icemetal> cause of the PCI dependency
Feb 17 18:30:44 <otavio> icemetal: if you use danny you can build linux-3.7 from it
Feb 17 18:31:00 <icemetal> yes you are right
Feb 17 18:31:38 <otavio> icemetal: than you use -c menuconfig
Feb 17 18:32:16 <icemetal> got it, but if you type rtl8192 is not easy to enable it
Feb 17 18:38:55 <otavio> icemetal: you're right; you won't be able to setup rtlwifi as it depends on pci
Feb 17 18:39:03 <otavio> icemetal: I checked the source
Feb 17 18:39:49 <icemetal> I don't understand why since is a USB wifi module
Feb 17 18:40:28 <icemetal> this USB wifi module is very popular cause is very small and some people got it working on the beagle board
Feb 17 18:40:37 <otavio> icemetal: rtlwifi depends on it; git might be a bug
Feb 17 18:41:03 <icemetal> http://embeddedgeeks.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/belkin-micro-wifi-usb-dongle-on-the-beagleboard/
Feb 17 18:41:44 <icemetal> oh ok, I though I was something I was doing wrong cause I couldn't figure out how other people got it to enable it so easy
Feb 17 18:41:56 * davest -> airport for week of conferences
Feb 17 19:11:39 <seebs> Well, I managed to kill a machine fairly badly trying to load-test the patches, but once I got it back, the pseudo patches seem to be working roughly as hoped.
Feb 17 19:12:21 <seebs> Time on a quad-core machine with 12GB of RAM for three simultaneous 4x4 builds of one of our filesystems was ~223 minutes pre-patch, ~153 post-patch.
Feb 17 19:13:09 <seebs> Seems that the difference is larger the heavier the load is, and also larger the less compiling is needed. Neither of these surprises me.
Feb 17 19:21:42 <seebs> btw, there's at least one bug in the code, (uninitialized variable) which may cause an occasional useless message to get sent, and there'll need to be a fix for Darwin because they don't have an off64_t.
Feb 17 21:35:56 <gbrennon> hello guys, i've generated the qt toolchain's through poky but can't compile my project... my qt warns me that "ABI detection failure"
Feb 17 21:39:49 <icemetal> never hear of abi before
Feb 17 21:41:01 <gbrennon> icemetal abi is application binary interface
Feb 17 21:41:08 <gbrennon> icemetal something to do with linkers
Feb 17 21:45:34 <icemetal> oh ok, thanks I'm just a newbie :)
Feb 17 21:45:37 <RP> seebs: the autobuilder didn't seem to highlight any issue
Feb 17 21:48:46 <seebs> The big thing I'm slightly worried about is losing permissions or modes.
Feb 17 21:49:54 <seebs> Fun fact: My first pass of implementation work for pseudo didn't track set*id(), because it assumed everything was using chown().
Feb 17 21:50:12 <seebs> This did not show up in testing because rpm2cpio ignores UIDs and just reports everything as root:root.
Feb 17 21:53:25 <seebs> Anyway, I did find an actual bug (the existing_entry flag for unlinkat was uninitialized if there was no entry, so it might or might not work). Running some more tests.
Feb 17 21:53:58 <seebs> Any numbers on how performance changes? Note also: Unless you add --enable-force-async to configure, the fsync() stuff isn't done.
Feb 17 21:58:11 <RP> seebs: no numbers, the autobuilder doesn't really do that atm
Feb 17 21:58:17 <seebs> k
Feb 17 21:58:30 <RP> seebs: was useful from a stressing it perspective - our usual image builds continue to work
Feb 17 21:59:04 <seebs> I think some of our build farms do, I'll see whether I can get a patch out for submission. Probably, in this case, want to add the new pseudo but not remove the 1.4.5 package right away.
