Hi all. I sent this to debian-laptop a few days ago, and haven't gotten any responses, so I thought I'd try the wider-readership list.
It's now a full week since I lost my wireless, and still no indication that the kernel team has looked at my bug report. I was going to try compiling the orinoco module myself, but the kernel-source version for 2.4.27 (-11) doesn't match the kernel-image version (-12), and I have no idea what kind of mess I might create if I use the wrong-version module. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Marsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Dec 12, 2005 6:54 PM Subject: orinoco wireless on sid To: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org Hi all. Last week I upgraded my kernel to 2.4.27-12, from kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686, and promptly lost my orinoco network driver to an unresolved symbol: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# modprobe orinoco /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.o: /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.o: unresolved symbol ALIGN /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.o: insmod orinoco failed Consequently, I've been wireless-less (would that be "wire"?) for the better part of a week. Not life-threatening, to be certain, but definitely inconvenient. Is anybody else seeing this? Alternatively, does anyone else have the same configuration (sid, orinoco, 2.4.27-12 on 686) working correctly? I'm interested in corroboration, work-arounds, or a demonstration that it's something particular to my own setup. I filed a bug report pretty much immediately after the problem hit me (bug #342503), but there's been no response from the kernel team (including any indication that the report has been read).
