Test kernel with Broadcom BCM43xx wireless support.
by David Woodhouse 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

I've built a test kernel with bcm43xx wireless support, from http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ It's a rawhide kernel but it installs and runs on FC4 with --nodeps http://david.woodhou.se/kernel-2.6.14-1.1805_FC5.bcm43xx.ppc.rpm http://david.woodhou.se/kernel-devel-2.6.14-1.1805_FC5.bcm43xx.ppc.rpm It seems to work, with WEP, if I set the ESSID manually -- but only for Legacy IP; not yet for IPv6 because there are multicast problems so it doesn't see the router advertisement. And suspend/resume is known not to work. But it's getting there, and it's already at the point where it might be useful to some people, and could certainly do with some more testing. You need to fetch and use the 'fwcutter' tool to get the firmware into a form which the kernel driver will be able to use -- see the README at http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/bcm43xx/trunk/fwcutter/README?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 and download from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/bcm43xx/snapshots/fwcutter/ -- dwmw2

apmud needs love
by Frank Arnold 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

I'm running Rawhide on my Powerbook. After upgrading to modular X I noticed a leftover inside /usr/X11R6/bin. It's xmouse from apmud. Unfortunately I can't find apmud as Bugzilla component, so I send it this way. The SRPM is also missing in the repositories, btw. Nonetheless I found it through Google. apmud contains some files where X11R6 paths are hard coded. I made some changes and tried my best to keep the whole package working with monolithic X. Others would say I did nothing else as dirty hacks... ;) No idea if I caught all glitches. xmouse seems not to be used at all inside apmud. I don't know if moving it from /usr/X11R6/bin to /usr/bin breaks something. The patch is attached and an updated SRPM can be found here: http://www.scirocco-5v-turbo.de/apmud-1.0.0-1.1.src.rpm Frank
