SRU Justification The b44 driver, even though it is a PCI device, uses the SSB bus driver to perform I/O over the PCI bus. The SSB bus driver is actually the registrant for the PCI ID of the b44 device. Obviously, if the upstream SSB interfaces change (as did those from compat-wireless), then so does the b44 have to change.
Impact: b44 ethernet cannot load when Hardy linux-backports-modules is installed Patch Description: Add upstream b44 to the compat-wireless tree (which includes the SSB bus driver) Patch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy- lbm.git;a=commit;h=f0a6bc770e8d58880294d6729892955658a430df Test Case: see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/251538/comments/10 -- [regression] b44 module does not load in kernel 2.6.24-21 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
