Not our bug. you are using an out-of-tree module from an external site, so it's that upstream that need to fix support for kernel 4.4 series... Out of curiosity... what hw do you have that needs an out-of-tree code ? Status:

Not our bug!!! This out-of-tree module without change build with the previously kernel series 3.9 and 4.1, so no with the 4.4! It is why I am thinking changes in the 4.4 kernel series causes the NOK built! My hw board is a Netgear WG311v2 lspci -v 0000:2c:09.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface Subsystem: Netgear WG311v2 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 23 Memory at fb020000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Memory at fb000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: acx_pci Kernel modules: acx_mac80211 (In reply to kalagani kalagani from comment #2) > (In reply to Thomas Backlund from comment #1) > > Not our bug. > > > > you are using an out-of-tree module from an external site, so it's that > > upstream that need to fix support for kernel 4.4 series... > > > > Out of curiosity... what hw do you have that needs an out-of-tree code ? > > Not our bug!!! > This out-of-tree module without change build with the previously kernel > series 3.9 and 4.1, so no with the 4.4! > It is why I am thinking changes in the 4.4 kernel series causes the NOK > built! > I _know_ the upstream kernel code has changed. This always happends from time to time... sometimes even between kernel releases... But its the job of the maintainers of out-of-tree code to keep up with the changes... not ours to wait for them to catch uo... nVidia does it for their drivers, Amd for theirs, virtualbox for theirs, xtables-addons for theirs and so on... I do patch drivers we provide in our repos if upstream does not provide fixes, but for out-of-tree code... file a bug with them... and poit out to them that pushing the driver upstream to kernel.org kernels would avoid breakages like this... Hi Thomas, I understood...thanks for explanation! Dependances for this module are modprobe --show-depends acx_mac80211 insmod /lib/modules/4.1.15-server-2.mga5/kernel/drivers/usb/common/usb-common.ko.xz insmod /lib/modules/4.1.15-server-2.mga5/kernel/drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko.xz insmod /lib/modules/4.1.15-server-2.mga5/kernel/net/rfkill/rfkill.ko.xz insmod /lib/modules/4.1.15-server-2.mga5/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko.xz insmod /lib/modules/4.1.15-server-2.mga5/kernel/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko.xz I modified code in main.c of module to avoid errors due to new 4.4.13 mac80211.h API. Miraculously, built is OK and then wifi connection also! But my modifications are not fulfilling, (test kernel version...) so do you know from which kernel this API change? Or where find modifications about kernels? |
