Hi Major Upstream Changes: http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges Archlinux Changes: - added aufs2 to kernel package - removed unionfs support Signoffs: - Please test also with binary modules. - Please report functionality of aufs2. Known issues: - ipw2200 seems to have some issues Other devs / users should report how much impact this have? Pierre reported network scanning is not working correct, anyone else with issues? Thanks for your help. Hope to get kernel .29 series to core in next 2 days. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

OK, I found the problem which might be a feature. With the new kernel you need to be root to scan for networks. Otherwise you get the missleading answer that there are no scan results. So, this is my sign-off for both arches. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de
I think its not new... I think it reports the last (root) scan results. If
you never scanned, its empty, but if you did, it will print the same
results.

It allways worked for me as user and not only when I had scanned as root before. Maybe the previous driver scanned on its own from time to time? Anyway the result is reproducable: start with .28 -> iwlist wlan scan as user shows all networks start with .29 -> iwlist wlan scan as user shows no networks -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

I think I am experiencing the same issue with an Atheros AR5008 (ath9k) on my laptop. -- Lyman Li Blog(Chinese): http://lymanrb.blogspot.com Album: http://picasaweb.google.com/lymanrb
