Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with "make oldconfig" 2.6.30-8 ==> 2.6.31

2010-03-10 Thread Mick
anic I suspect an error in the .config file you copied over. Do you keep a copy both in /usr/src/linux-gentoo-XXX/ and in /boot? If yes then copy over your .config from a different location this time, otherwise you'll have to go about it through the manual method. PS. Just checking the obvious: you aren't manually patching your kernels and forgot to do it this time, right? -- Regards, Mick

wn kernel, therefore the handbook has to cater for the lowest common denominator and advises to go about it in a long-winded way. PS. make oldconfig is essentially the result of a diff-ing exercise between old/new kernels. Using "?" helps explain new options before you choose to select them. -- Regards, Mick

I'm not sure if that's the "best" solution. Look at /etc/conf.d/wireless.example to see how you are meant to configure /etc/conf.d/net to manage your wireless card either using iwconfig, or using wpa_supplicant. You probably need something like: sleep_scan_ra0="3" #where "3" is three seconds HTH. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
