Site News :: DSL v3.2

phiphi,

Looks like the user contributed module b44.o is the issue affecting the rtl8139 netcard.

However, copying the prior b44.o from v3.1 does indeed fix this issue.
After you copy over the b44.o from a prior version of DSL you must then run

# depmod -a

So, in fact the steps necessary to correct this issue

First place your DSL v3.1 or prior CD into machine. Then perform the following...

# mkdir /mnt/test
# mount /mnt/auto/cdrom
# mount /mnt/auto/cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX /mnt/test -o ro, loop=/dev/cloop60
#cp /mnt/test/lib/modules/2,4,26/kernel/drivers/net/b44.o /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net/.
#depmod -a
#umount /mnt/test
#umount /mnt/auto/cdrom
#modprobe 8139too
#netcardconfig

If you like you can cut and paste then run this script.

I ask about the "must be superuser to umount" problem because here, roberts said to WDef (the one that wrote dsl2unc) it will be solved in v3.2 (The post isn't on the board anymore but for those that use the Topic Tracker, it was posted on the 1 December 2006).

Thanks a lot Super Roberts,

I replace all the /net directory from DSL3.01, because b44.o_32 is also not compatible with rtl8139.

Now after executing depmod -a , All is working fine.

Have a good day.

I love DSL.

It is quite apparent that you are going to persist until I comment.

What is the point of this? If it is not in the change log...If my post was retracted...

Duh! Do ya think! That perhaps the solution suggested didn't work! And from the posts in that mentioned thread, that for most, it is a trivial work-around.

Persistent posts like this makes me question your motivation.

If Debian Woody, and some of it's inherent bugs, and not specifically DSL, is not to your liking, then I would suggest to look elsewhere.

roberts, can you explain a bit more about this "default tone generator" for XMMS? Sounds cool but what does it do?
