Don't always use the latest version

Gepost op dinsdag 12 juli 2005 om 19:49 (tags: )

In contradiction to my previous posts, always using the latest version isn't that good.

As I told you, last week, I upgraded the packages IPW2200 and ipw2200-firmware to the latest version available. The big problem with those drivers is, I now have corrupt packages. When I came home, I couldn't connect to my WAP. Infact, I could register my client, but I didn't get an IP by DHCP. When I captured the stream with Ethereal, I saw DHCP-requests from the client, but no answer from the server. /var/log/messages gave me more information and told me there were corrupt packages. I can't give the exact error message right now, I'll post it when I've some time. I'll have to take a look closer to it.

Centrino Logo Another problem is kernel 2.6.12. I installed this one, but then my USB mouse isn't working anymore. I've allready read on some site the mouse handling is changed in this version, but I'll have to find out how to fix this. Maybe the problem is related with the fact that hotplugging my mouse doesn't work right now. A little task for when I've some time... If you have similar experiences, please, be my guest.

As you can see a few posts further (you can browse through the cat "my gentoo"), the mouse problem is solved. Maybe you can also try it that way. About the other USB and firewire devices: I don't know. Do you use DBUS? I recommend using DBUS and reading the Gentoo DBUS Guide.
