[arch-dev-public] Kernel 2.6.22 in testing
This is a copy of my mail to the [arch] mailing list: Good morning, just a few minutes ago, the 2.6.22 kernel has been submitted to the testing repository. Please test it and report any bugs that might occur, so we hopefully can move it to current within a week. This kernel will also be the basis of the "Archlinux 2007.07 Don't panic" snapshot. For any changes in 2.6.22, see this site: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_22 I'd like to emphasize two changes: We re-added the rt2x00 drivers which (thanks to the mac80211 stack being merged in 2.6.22) now compile again and seem to work for me (rt2500pci). The mac80211 stack also allows us to ship the iwlwifi driver for intel 3945 and 4965 users. The driver for the 3945 is not as stable as ipw3945 yet, so people should not switch to it yet. However, it is the only driver for the 4965 wireless chipset. Both i686 and x86_64 now include the option for Intel Microcode updates which has been requested several times. I am going to add microcode_ctl to the repos, until then it is available from the AUR. Happy testing and good night Thomas
I have been saying this earlier and it's still true when I mention that madwifi is broken: ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) wlan: 0.8.4.2 (svn r2435) ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (svn r2435) low) -> IRQ 20 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64 MadWifi: HAL ABI mismatch; driver expects 0x7013100, HAL reports 0x6090700 Cheers, -U Thomas Bächler wrote:

Just confirmed the SVN Snapshot is working with 2.6.22. Want me to fix it? :P Cheers, -S Alexander Baldeck wrote:

tpowa applied some patches to madwifi and madwifi-utils in the 2.6.22-rcX phase to make madwifi compile. Neither of us has any hardware to test it, so you are the most qualified person to make it work I guess.
Alright, I'll see what I can do. Thomas Bächler wrote:
