Hello
Here is the short question:
Did anybody successfully compile a kernel >= 3.7, within trinity and got
the wifi to work for the machines mentioned above??
----------------------------------------------------------------
Rationale and longer story.
I am running a X60 and an X200, both with trinity/Kubuntu 10.04 (I know it is
outdated but I have my reasons) and wifi works without any problems.
I replaced in both machines my HHD with a SSD and reinstalled Kubuntu
10.04 again, using the jfs file system. I am very pleased with the
results.
However after the installation I found out that on the long time run I
should use trim, which was not supported for jfs in the 2.6.32-37
kernel. I could upgrade the kernel via the backport releases but these
backport releases did not include the kernel 3.7, which was the first
kernel to support TRIM for jfs. So I should reinstall Kubuntu using
either ext4 or xfs or compile a new kernel.
So, I downloaded the 3.7.0 kernel on my X200 and run set of
commands which I have attached belows.
Now the relevant wifi intel driver 3945 for the X60s
and the PRO/Wireless 5100 for the X200s seem to be compiled.
However when I boot the new kernel and run the
ifconfig command there is only the wired card detected but no
wlan0 or eth0 device is found.
I am puzzled: if I boot the 2.6.32-37 kernel I have wifi support but not
with the 3.7 kernel.
What should I do?
I can run sudo ifconfig wlan0 up, but knetworkmanager and wicd do not
find the wireless card.
Any help is strongly appreciated
Thanks

I made lsmod on my X60 machine once with the new 3.7 kernel once with my
old 2.6.32 kernel. The difference is huge in my X60 machine
one line is particular interesting, namely
iwlcore 106661 1 iwl3945
this line is missing for the lsmod for the 3.7.0 kernel indeed this
module does not exist. What do I miss.
I don't hope I have to recompile the kernel?
Can somebody help me how to get the module loaded
thanks
Uwe Brauer
Commands used to compile the kernel:
sudo make menuconfig
sudo make
sudo make modules
sudo make modules_install
make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install
sudo make install
sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.7.0
cd /boot/grup
sudo cp grub.cfg grub-org.cfg
su
grub-mkconfig > /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo update-grub

On wheezy (3.2 kernel and 3.12 from backports) I was not able to get the iwl3945 or any
other wifi card from the T6*/X6*/X6*t series to work correctly, although they worked under
2.6 kernel. The newer models from T500 upward seem to work, but only 5 GHZ, not 2.4 GHz.

Thanks. I sent a bug report to wireless.kernel.org. But most likely will
try another solution of my problem: that is re install with xfs or ext4
and using an older kernel.

Finally I mentioned to compile the 3.7 kernel with wireless support.
It is the
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT (or so) which is needed.
If you want I can send you my configure file.

please answer to the list, not to individual posters (who are on the list,
anyway).
the way you are doing it now, breaks filters which sort messages according the
'To:' header.
thanks.

I am not sure I understand, I fire up
`gnus-summary-followup-with-original' as I always do for mailing lists,
and the message goes To your address CC to the list. Are you saying this
is not the correct behaviour?
Then it is either gnus fault or the configuration of the mailing list.

no.
mails from a list should by default only be answered to the list, not to the
OP personally (if not expicitely recommended by him)
Then it is either gnus fault or the configuration of
the mailing list.
I would say it is gnus fault, as far most other replies are correct.
btw. if you use kmail, there is a nice feature called 'answer to list' which
does the right thing and can be invoked with just typing 'l' to answer :)

yes but it
is gnus. Value: "Ma Gnus v0.10"
no.

So you would consider
To: lists
CC: author
ok
but not
CC: lists
To: author
Is this correct?
If so, can't you set up your filter that *also* CC list goes in the folder you
desire? That is what I do since some mailing list behave different than
others.

No. Gnus compares to kmail like Porsche to Ford (I could no resist that
statement, please no flamewars.....)

yes.
or even omit the CC:author at all, as usually, all authors are subscribed to
the list anyway, result is duplicates for those.

I do filtering on the server side, which is somewhat limited, but provides
everything sorted well no matter what device/OS/mailer I use on the client
side.

Right now I am using the gmane interface. Is the result closer to what
you expect, if so I will stick to gmane.
